In a major breakthrough, the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of the Odisha Police has arrested one Nikhilananda Pashupalak on charges of swindling money from gullible investors through a chit fund scam that runs into ₹500 crore.
Pasupalak, one of the key scamster of Success Online Service System (SOSS) Private Limited, has ironically acted in a Bhojpuri film in 2015.
The EOW started investigation into the case based on a complaint lodged by one Parsuram Behera against the office-bearers of SOSS, which was operating its regional office at Berhampur.
