Odias in Surat demand CBI probe into Oscar chit fund scam

Surat: Demanding CBI probe into the Oscar chit fund scam, the duped Odia investors today staged demonstration at Pandesara police station in Surat.

Talking to OTV, president of Prabasi Odia Chit Fund Jamakari Mahasangh, Srikant Padhi, said the Mahasangh has submitted its application to Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani through the Pandesara police, Surat Collector and Police Commissioner.

“In the application, we have requested the chief minister to order a CBI probe into the Oscar chit fund scam as we have no faith on the Odisha government which is yet to take any action against this ponzi farm despite repeated requests. The Mahasangh has demanded that cases against nine persons including two sitting Members of Parliament and some Ollywood actors should be registered in Surat”, he added.

Surat SP Mukesh Patel said cases under section 406 and 420 of the IPC have been registered against the Oscar Management Services Ltd in Udhna police station and police has started investigation into the matter.
