Seashore Chit Fund Scam: CBI To Summon Two BJD Leaders Again

Bhubaneswar: The CBI will issue fresh notices to two senior BJD leaders in connection with the Seashore chit fund scam.

Informing the media here on Thursday, a senior CBI officer said Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak and Arun Sahoo were served notices to personally appear at its branch office in Bhubaneswar on January 28 and 30. But they failed to do so.

While Sahoo was to depose on January 28, Nayak was asked to appear before the CBI on January 30.

“Since they have neither informed the CBI in writing the reason for their absence nor through their counsels, we will send another notice to them soon,” the officer added.

With the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Odisha round the corner, the notice to two senior leaders has dealt a telling blow to the ruling BJD.

Commenting on the issue, BJD spokesperson Sasmit Patra had earlier claimed that these two leaders are yet to receive the CBI notice.

Seashore Group of Companies is one of the 44 tainted Ponzi firms being probed by the CBI for the multi-crore scam in Odisha following a Supreme Court directive.
