Gourang Sahu, representative of the minister, submitted the documents to the CBI on allegations of taking the car from the Artha Tatwa chit fund company.

The CBI had issued notice to the minister on April 4 to submit documents relating to the vehicle.

Dasburma, however, said everything will come out after the CBI inquiry.

Congress leader Lalatendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra had alleged that the vehicle was gifted by Artha Tatwa chief Pradeep Sethi, who is in jail for duping thousands of depositors.

The CBI is inquiring into the chit fund scam of 44 companies in the state following directions of the Supreme Court. (IANS)
