Cuttack: Many corporators of the city allegedly had good relationship with the Dhalasamanta brothers who have been arrested by the commissionerate police (CP) recently, according to sources.
The Dhalasamanta brothers had donated huge sums to these corporators during the Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) polls, according to sources. The brothers had also sponsored the tours of a few corporators who visited a few places outside the state.
Police have also collected information indicating that a few corporators were regular participants in all the cultural and social functions organised by the Dhalasamanta brothers.
The commissionerate police has launched an investigation to find out the names of the corporators who were in close contact with the Dhalasamanta brothers, sources said. Police officials are also trying to ascertain the benefits the brothers got from the corporators.
