The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday made three high profile arrests in connection with the alleged diversion of funds in the NabaDiganta group case in the multi-crore Odisha chit fund scam.
According to a CBI spokesperson, a Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Ram Chandra Hansdah has been amongst those arrested. The other people arrested by the Central agency include former BJP MLA Hitesh Kumar Bagartti and ex-BJD MLA Subarna Naik.
“The accused have been charged with allegations of criminal conspiracy, cheating and diversion of funds,” the spokesperson said.
A few days back, the central agency had arrested BJD MLA Pravat Tripathy for his alleged involvement in the Artha Tatwa Group case in Odisha.
