Bhubaneshwar: The chairman of the trust that ran the hospital where a devastating fire on Monday killed 21 people on Thursday  turned himself in to police and was arrested even as the SIT on black money ordered a probe by the Enforcement Directorate into the trust’s financial transactions.
Manoj Ranjan Nayak, the chairman of Sikshya O Anusandhan Charitable Trust that runs the SUM Hospital here, surrendered before the police around 3.30 AM and was taken to an undisclosed location for interrogation, barely hours after the Odisha police issued a Lookout Circular against him and another trustee Saswati Das. Nayak’s arrest takes to five the number of those held in connection with the fire tragedy, which also left scores injured. Even as he was being interrogated, information came that the The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Black Money has asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to probe financial transactions of the trust he headed.
