Bhubaneswar: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch police on Monday took the chief finance officer (CFO) of Odisha Television (OTV) Ltd, Manoranjan Sarangi, on remand for two days for further interrogation in connection with the alleged land grabbing at Sarua village in Khurda district.
