Bhubaneswar: Film producer Akshay Parija appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) again on Wednesday in connection with the honeytrap case.
Addressing the mediapersons he accused some media houses of irrresponsible reporting. He threatened to drag all of them to the court. “I am a victim, it’s not good to spread such lies against me,” said Parija.
Parija had been questioned by the ED yesterday. The ED is probing the assets and cash amassed by alleged blackmailer Archana Nag, her husband Jagabandhu Chand and their associates, over a few years.
Parija had filed a complaint with Nayapalli police against Nag for demanding Rs 3 crore after allegedly capturing his intimate photographs.
He was asked to appear before the agency on November 19 but had requested some more time citing health issues after returning back from Bangkok.
The ED has traced Rs 2.5 crore deposits in the bank accounts of Archana and Jagabandhu between 2017 and 2022.
She is accused of amassing over Rs 30 crore along with her husband between 2018 and 2022 by blackmailing and threatening some politicians and rich people.
