Bhubaneswar, Nov 1: A charge sheet has been filed against former Youth Congress (YC) president of Odisha unit Rajat Choudhury today by the CBI in the special CJM court here for his alleged complicity in the multi-crore Artha Tatwa (AT) chit fund scam.

A charge sheet has also been filed by the CBI against the former director of AT Group, Md Haniff.
