Ruling BJD leader and Lok Sabha member Rabindra Kumar Jena was tonight questioned by CBI in connection with its probe into the chitfund scam in Odisha relating to Seashore group.
"I have provided all necessary information to CBI," Jena, MP from Balasore, told reporters while emerging from CBI office here after about three hours of questioning.
Jena said he had certain business transactions with the Seashore group and the central investigating agency was given all information.
Expressing readiness to extend cooperation to the agency to ensure proper investigation, the BJD MP said the investors should also get back their money.
Seashore group's CMD Prashant Dash has been in jail for over a year in connection with the scam.
CBI had arrested some leaders of ruling BJD including Mayurbhanj MP Ramachandra Hansda and Banki MLA Prabhat Tripathy in connection with the ponzi scheme scam relating to separate companies.
