Bhubaneswar: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday quizzed BJD MLA from Talcher, Braja Kishore Pradhan, in connection with an alleged money laundering case related to mining.
It was the second time that Pradhan appeared for questioning at ED’s Bhubaneswar zonal office, exactly a week later. He had come to the ED office on January 20 (Friday). Pradhan was inside the office for more than three hours today.
The Talcher legislator did not speak after coming out from the ED office, as he left showing folding hands to a posse of scribes queued on the premises.
According to reports, Pradhan has been allegedly associated with a company that was involved in illegal mining business in Talcher and Keonjhar and had evaded tax in the process.
