The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing into the mega chit fund scams, on Monday issued notice to Baleswar BJD MP Rabindra Jena asking him to appear before it on January 12 in connection with the Seashore Group chit fund scam.
Jena had earlier presented himself before the Central investigating agency on December 10 last after being summoned and was questioned for around seven hours over his alleged links with the Seashore Group.
As per sources close to the MP, he heads the Supratik Group of companies, which had lent an amount of `18 crore to the Seashore Group in 2010.
The Seashore had paid back the lion’s share of the money but still owed `1.86 crore to him, the sources said.
