 After a day’s breather, the CBI renewed its interrogation of people suspected of involvement in the chit fund scam on Tuesday.

Ipsit Pratihari, a director of the Seashore TV (STV), the now-defunct TV channel launched by the Seashore Group of companies, reached the CBI office here for questioning. This was the second time Pratihari, a native of Puri, was questioned by the CBI.

City-based builder Santosh Nayak was quizzed by the CBI on Tuesday for his connection with the chit fund scam.

The CBI interrogated Nayak, a builder of laxmisagar, about his links with the Artha Tatwa (AT) Group, sources said.

CBI sources said that Nayak and AT Group chief Pradeep Sethy had invested a large amount of money in a housing project in the city. The builder had taken Rs 1.25 crore from Sethy to hand over seven flats in an apartment at laxmisagar, sources added.
