The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Odisha Police has arrested two more individuals—Dwipika Bhanjo and Tandra Bhanjo—from Kolkata in connection with a multi-crore Ponzi scam.
According to an official statement by the EOW, the duo was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Barasat, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, on Tuesday. They have been brought to Bhubaneswar on a three-day transit remand for further interrogation.
The arrests stem from a case filed by Bhubaneswar resident Manmohan Dora, who accused Harit Krishi Nidhi Ltd, Transvision Dream Multi Trade Pvt. Ltd., and its director Tushar Bhanjo of duping thousands of investors. The scam involved promises of 11% monthly interest and additional 4–5% commissions for enrolling new members—typical of Ponzi-style operations.
Authorities believe the scam defrauded numerous people across Odisha and possibly other states, and investigations are ongoing to trace further links and recover funds.
