The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has detained Susant Samal and Prabhat Pattanayak, close associates of Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Raja Chakra, amid an ongoing investigation into a multi-crore transport scam. Both are influential figures in the Suakati Gandhamardhan Loading Agency and Transport Cooperative Society in Keonjhar.
Samal, previously arrested in 2010 for alleged mineral theft from the Odisha Mining Corporation, is under scrutiny for his suspected role in the current scandal. The EOW’s investigation into Raja Chakra and his aides may have significant political implications, potentially altering power dynamics within the state.
Authorities are hopeful that further insights from the ongoing interrogations will aid in uncovering the depth of the alleged corruption. The developments continue to unfold, with the political landscape in Odisha watching closely.
