Bhubaneswar, March 18: As part of its ongoing investigation into historical chit fund scandals, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) interrogated Prashant Das, the CMD of Seashore Group, on Monday.

Sources reveal that Das was questioned by the ED to verify the completeness of his asset disclosures during previous investigations. Additionally, the probe agency is probing potential political affiliations in connection with the Rs 578-crore scam.

This marks the second occasion that Das has appeared before the ED, having been previously questioned on Friday.

In December 2014, the ED had seized assets belonging to Seashore Group valued at over Rs 150 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, followed by another attachment of Rs 84 crore in January 2015.

Seashore Group is alleged to have amassed substantial sums from the public without the requisite permissions from the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) since 2006.
