Hours after a court here allowed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to take Seashore Group CMD Prashant Dash on a 14-day remand, local people spotted sack-loads of documents of the chit fund company lying abandoned on the roadside behind its office (Seashore Towers) at the Chandaka Industrial Estate here on Thursday.
The sacks contained counterfoils of money receipts of deposits collected from investors by the Seashore Multipurpose Cooperative ltd, besides other documents pertaining to deposit certificates, etc.Interestingly, Dash himself and his counsel had told the media that they would be cooperating with the ED and the CBI in their investigations for truth to come out. His counsel did not oppose the ED’s move to take him on remand though he did insist on certain conditions.
Dash’s son had also told the media that his father would fully cooperate with the ED in its investigations.local residents said they have been witness to such incidents on several occasions in the past too. “Such acts normally happen after evening under the cover of darkness. Around 18 to 20 men come and take away sack-loads of stuff, but they never dared to protest or oppose out of fear because of their number,” said a local.
