Arrested former Youth Congress State president Rajat Choudhury was produced before the Special CBI Court here on Monday by the CBI after completion of his remand period.

He was sent to judicial custody.

Choudhury along with senior High Court lawyer Devasish Panda was arrested on July 4, hours after they deposed before the CBI officials here for interrogation for their alleged complicity with Artha Tatwa Group chiet fund firm and its chief Pradip Sethy.

Choudhury came under the scanner of the agency in 2014 for a land deal involving Rs94 lakh. One Mitu Mohanty had allegedly obtained a plot of land from AT Group which is worth Rs94.77 lakh.

Mohanty had allegedly taken the possession of the plot without paying a single paisa to the AT Group for the same. Choudhury had acted as a mediator in the transaction.
