Three arrested in LTC scam, taken to Port Blair

CBI sleuths today took three persons from Odisha's Ganjam district on remand after producing them in a court here in the LTC scam in which travel reimbursement was allegedly claimed by some defence personnel at Port Blair through purportedly forged bills.
The three persons were identified as Dilip Behera and Pankaj Behera, brothers of a Navy man posted at Port Blair and Dipak Padhee, owner of a Berhampur-based printing press.
Behera brothers were running a travel agency in Berhampur. The fake bills were allegedly printed at Padhee's printing press.
The trio would be produced in a court at Port Blair, a government pleader said.

Two days ago, CBI officials had raided a printing press in Berhampur from where fake bills for LTC were seized, as also computer hard discs, master printing plates.
The fake bills were allegedly used by some defence personnel to get LTC claims.
