Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday arrested eastern Indian state Odisha’s former advocate general Ashok Mohanty for alleged links with Artha Tatwa Group, a ponzi company accused of duping investors of crores of rupees in the state.
Mohanty was picked up from his residence in Cuttack, sources said adding the former advocate general was immediately taken to hospital for medical check up.‘Truth will ultimately come out. God and guru are my witnesses. As per my conscience, I have not committed any wrong,’ Mohanty told reporters while being taken inside CBI’s state headquarters here. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had accepted Mohanty’s resignation as the AG just a day before his interrogation by the CBI here on 13 September.
