Seashore CMD's wife granted interim bail

Rourkela: The court of sub-divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM) here today granted interim bail to Jyotirani Sarangi, wife of the Seashore Group CMD Prashant Dash, who was arrested in a fraud case on June 7.

The commissionerate police had arrested her in a fraud case in Laxmisagar area in Bhubaneswar on the basis of a non-bailable warrant issued against her by the Rourkela SDJM court in a fraud case. Sarangi, one of the directors of Seashore Group, had been accused of defrauding people of Rs 90 lakh in the steel city.

A case had been registered with Raghunathpalli police in 2013 in this regard. The police had moved court seeking a warrant against Sarangi.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing the multi core chit fund scam had quizzed Jyotirani for hours in 2014.
