The Bureau of Immigration (BoI) has issued a look out circular against Manoj Kumar Panda, Director of M/s Odyssa Homes & Commercials Pvt. Ltd. The circular has been issued against Panda on the request of Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Bhubaneswar in connection with a complaint filed by a TCS employee and others.
The TCS employee, Ranjan Kumar Mohapatra and others had alleged that Directors of M/s Odyssa Homes & Commercials Pvt Ltd had duped the investors to the tune of Rs 20 crore on the pretext of providing them dispute free flats in its Apartment Project namely, ‘Ganapati Homes’ located in Sampur Mouza, Bhubaneswar near Kalinga Studio, in front of SOS Village.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the Directors of the accused company had collected around Rs 20 crore from 42 investors between 2013 and 2016 on the pretext of providing them flats. The company had promised to complete the flats by 2018.
The EOW in a release stated that necessary agreement and MOUs were also executed. However, no flat has been allotted to any of the investors.
