Bhubaneswar, Feb. 8: The Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), which is probing into the alleged fraud by the Artha Tatwa group, a money deposit collection company, is likely to register a fresh case against it.

The SFIO is an organisation under the ministry of corporate affairs and detects and prosecutes white-collar criminals.

The agency's five-member team today interrogated company chief Pradeep Sethyinside Jharapada jail.

"We are trying to find out if there was any violation of the Companies Act. We have been working on the case for the past year and our findings will also help other agencies involved in the investigation. We will find out the amount of investment and the spending of those investments," said SFIO joint director Manoj Kumar Sahoo.

He said the agency would register a case if they found any violation.

Sethy, on January 30, alleged that political leaders, including two ministers, had taken money from the group. While being produced in a Bhubaneswar court, he had also said that he would reveal the names of the two ministers before the Serious Fraud Investigation Office .

In January, the court of the Special Chief Judicial Magistrate, CBI, allowed the SFIO to record statements of Sethy and three other directors of the firm - Jyoti Prakash Jayprakash, Srikrushna Padhi, and Manoj Patnaik - in Jahrapada jail.
