Three wives and relatives of Odisha-based chit fund company Green Ray International limited’s (GRIl) managing director Mir Shahiruddin, were grilled by CBI sleuths here on Monday.
The CBI is investigating the scrap dealer-turned-chit fund company promoter’s and his relatives’ financial dealings after it took Shahiruddin on a six-day remand after producing him in the Special CBI Court here on Sunday, sources said.
