Chit fund accused Subhankar Nayak seen in BCCI Box during India-Sri Lanka T20

Cuttack: Chit fund accused Subhankar Nayak was seen among top VIPs in the BCCI Box of Barabati Stadium during India-Sri Lanka T20 match on Wednesday.

The BCCI Box is reserved for top class officers, ministers, sports persons and OCA members and only those with VVIP passes are allowed to sit here. Talks are doing round that Subhankar is getting close to some influential personalities after walking out of the jail on bail.

Nayak, who was arrested by CBI on November 18, 2014 for his alleged links with Seashore Group, was granted conditional bail by High Court in August 2017. It was alleged that Nayak acted as a middleman between the Seashore Group and influential persons in the State. His diary had also mentioned names of some top class bureaucrats during the raids by CBI.

On the other hand, OCA refuted providing pass to Subhankar. "Top bureaucrats, IPS officers, eminent sports personalities and OCA officials are generally given the BCCI Box pass. We don't know who Subhankar Nayak is. He might have collected the pass from any top class official to whom we provided the same,” OCA Working Committee Chairman Dhiren Palai said.
