By Bizodisha Bureau, Bhubaneswar, July 5, 2016 : The premier investigating agency, Central Bureau of Investigation [CBI] appears to have become proactive by interrogating Odisha chit fund scam accused and Seashore Group CMD Prashant Dash, his brother Prabhat Dash and real estate broker Subhankar Nayak for the third time inside Jharpada Special Jail here.

The trio was interrogated by CBI SP and an investigating official on Monday over their alleged involvement in the multi-crore ponzi scam.

Earlier on Saturday and Sunday, a CBI team had grilled them at the jail on Saturday and Sunday after getting permission for interrogation from special CBI court.

The CBI last year had filed a 276-page charge sheet in which it had named Prashant, Prabhat and Subhankar accusing the Seashore Group of swindling Rs 578.20 crores.

Prashant was arrested by state Crime Branch from Mumbai on June 20, 2013 before the case was handed over to the CBI under Supreme Court order.

Similarly, Prabhat is accused of embezzling company funds to the tune of Rs 3 crores and was arrested on January 24 last year.

On November 18, 2014, the CBI had arrested Subhankar for his alleged links with the company hours after his house in Chandrama Apartments here was raided. Subhankar is accused to have acted as the middleman between Seashore Group and top bureaucrats.
