The CBI Special Court here on Monday allowed the CBI to take three executives of the Nabadiganta Capital Services on a six-day remand.
The CBI had, however, requested the court for a 10-day remand.Earlier in the morning, the probing agency had produced Nabadiganta CMD Anjan Kumar Baliarsingh and two directors Kartikeya Parida and Pradeep Patnaik before the court.The three had been arrested on Sunday after back-to-back interrogations at the CBI office for their involvement in the chit fund scam.After the court order, Baliarsingh told reporters that three politicians, Mayurbhanj BJD MP Ramachandra Hansdah, former Keonjhar BJD MlA Subarna Naik and former Khariar BJP MlA Hitesh Bagarti, were involved in the dealings of his company.
In a related development, chit fund company Seashore Group CMD Prashant Dash would be produced before the District and Sessions Court, Khordha, on Tuesday for hearing on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) remand plea.Earlier, the ED on September 19 had requested the court to allow it to take Dash on remand. Then, the court had asked the Jeypore jail authorities to produce Dash before it.
