A local court in Odisha has allowed the Enforcement Directorate ED to take Saradha Group chief Sudipta Sen on remand for ten days. Sen was produced before the district and sessions court in Bhubaneswar by the ED, which sought a 15-day remand. After hearing the ED's appeal, sessions court judge Durga Prasanna Choudhary ordered that the accused be sent to 10 days' remand. The judge also directed the ED to produce Sen before the court on or before July 21.The ED had requested the court to take Sen on remand to interrogate him in connection with offences committed by the group in Odisha. Both movable and immovable properties of the Saradha Group in Odisha were attached in December 2013, following a finance department order on November 30. These properties were allegedly procured using deposits collected by the chit fund group.
