Cuttack: Police arrested Mayrubhanj district BJP President Krushna Chandra Mohapatra on Sunday, in a land fraud case to the tune of Rs 1 Cr after allegedly remaining on run for last two days.
Krushna Chandra who was on police’s radar was caught from the Chahata Ghat area under CDA in Cuttack last evening by the Infocity Police and was brought to Bhubaneswar. He is currently being quizzed by police at the Infocity Police Station.
Notably, a team of police officials from Commissionerate Police raided the Mayurbhanj district BJP President’s residence at Baripada on Friday in connection to defrauding one woman realtor Neena Dheer from Patia area in Bhubaneswar. As per a complaint filed by Dheer, Krushna Chandra received an amount of Rs 1Cr from her to hand over a plot. However, the BJP leader neither handed over the plot nor returned the advance money at a later stage.
However, BJP State Vice President Sameer Mohanty rubbished the theory of ‘absconding’ and said Krushna Chandra was busy in some work over last two days. He insisted that law would take its own course and the Mayurbhanj BJP President would be punished if found guilty.
