Choudwar-Cuttack BJD MlA Pravat Ranjan Biswal’s wife laxmi Bilasini on Monday appeared before the CBI, which is probing into the mega chit fund scam in Odisha, in connection with her links with the tainted ponzi firm Seashore Group.
laxmi Bilasini came to the CBI office here in response to the Central agency’s notice issued to her on December 2 asking her to submit some documents.
Earlier, the CBI had summoned her on November 26 to appear before it within two days. However, she had sent her representative on November 28 to appear before the agency.
Notably, laxmi Bilasini had been grilled by the CBI along with his MlA-husband in 2014 over their alleged links in the scam.
“My wife had a piece of land measuring 32 gunths at Benapur village in Jajppur district, which she sold to the Seashore Group in 2011,” the MlA had said at that time after coming out of the CBI office post interrogation.
His wife, however, had given a different spin to the land deal, saying while the papers had been readied for sale, the land was never sold.
