Bhubaneshwar: The CBI on Sunday arrested Durga Prasad Mishra, owner of a chit fund company and an Odia TV channel MBC TV over a chit fund scam. He was absconding for the last nine months.
On November 30, the CBI had questioned senior IPS officer Rajesh Kumar in the Odisha chit fund scam. Rajesh Kumar was until recently probing the chit fund scam as the crime branch DIG before the probe was taken over by the CBI under direction from Supreme Court.
The probe against Rajesh is a huge embarrassment for the Naveen Patnaik government. Recently, BJD MP Pyarimohan Mahapatra and Chief Minister's personal aide were quizzed in the chit fund scam. Opposition parties have also upped their ante and have been demanding Chief Minister's resignation over the scam.
