Bhubaneswar: Abinash Priyadarshi aka Chanda Hazra, an associate of Khageswar Patra who is the co-accused in the blackmailer Archana Nag sextortion case, deposed before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday.
Notably, the ED arrested Patra on November 12. Patra happened to be the business partner of Archana and her husband Jagabandhu Chand. He was running a used car dealership business between 2010 and 2019.
After coming in contact with Archana, he expanded his business empire by building a used car showroom in the Hansapal area on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar.
Archana and her husband have been arrested for allegedly amassing wealth by honey-trapping prominent people in Odisha. Both Nag and Chand are currently lodged in jail.
The ED has reportedly unearthed bank transaction links between the couple and Patra and seized mobile, computer, hard disk, and other incriminating material during the raids.
