Air Odisha former director arrested

Bhubaneswar: Former director of Air Odisha Aviation Pvt Ltd (AOAPL) Santosh Pani was arrested by the Khandagiri Police today on the basis of a NBW issued against him in connection with a fraud case.

Sources said a complaint was filed against Pani on the allegation of cheating Sandeep Ray, son of former Union coal minister and BJP MLA Dilip Ray, and a businessman. Ray had filed an FIR against him for failing to return his investment in the carrier service.

Pani was earlier arrested in June last year and later released on bail. He was again arrested from Bhubaneswar today for violating the bail condition.
