ED Grills Odisha’s Seashore Group CMD For 2nd Time In A Week

Bhubaneswar: As part of its investigation into old chit fund scams, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) grilled Seashore Group CMD Prashant Das on Monday.

According to sources, the ED questioned Das to ascertain whether he has revealed all his assets during investigation earlier. Besides, the probe agency is looking for political links in the Rs 578-crore scam.

This is for second time that Das deposed before the ED. He was quizzed by ED on Friday last also.

The ED had attached Seashore Group’s assets worth over Rs 150 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in December 2014 and again Rs 84 crore in January 2015.

The Seashore Group had collected huge amount of money from the people without obtaining permission from the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) since 2006.
