The Supreme Court is all set to ask the CBI to inquire into the businesses of 44 chit fund and private finance bodies operating in Odisha and beyond.
In its last and final hearing in the PIl filed by Alok Jena, the apex court insisted on addition of seven more companies, as suggested by the petitioner, to the list of the 37 companies that the State Government was willing to bring under the CBI probe.These seven companies include Seashore and Artha Tatwa, which are currently being probed by the State Crime Branch. The court had dismissed the contention of the State Government’s senior counsel Gopal Subramaniam that investigation of these seven companies need not be handed over to the CBI because the Crime Branch was already conducting a thorough probe on them.
The following is the full list of companies that would come under the CBI scanner as soon as the court passes a formal order in the case:
1. Artha Tatwa Group, 2. Adarsha Groups, 3. Seashore, 4. ABC Indya. 5. Safex India, 6. Swastik India Multi State Credit Cooperative, 7. Nabadiganta Capital Service, 8. Saradha Groups, 9.
