Bhadrak: Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday said that those linked to alleged blackmailer Archana Nag’s racket and mining irregularities cannot go scot-free as the central agencies have started probing into the cases from Delhi.
Pradhan said this while addressing a public meeting to seek votes for the BJP candidate for the Dhamnagar assembly segment to be held on November 3.
“I came to know from media reports that central agencies in Delhi have started probing into the woman blackmailer’s racket and mining irregularities,” he said.
The ED has taken copies of the FIRs registered in the Archana Nag case from the local police a few days ago.
Nag, a 26-year-old woman, was arrested on October 6 on the charge of blackmailing people including politicians allegedly by trapping them in a sex racket. Her husband Jagabandhu Chand was also arrested later.
Two FIRs were lodged against her at separate police stations in the city.
An internal estimation done by the police said that Nag and her husband have acquired properties worth Rs 30 crore in a span of four years from 2018.
The BJP has been alleging that a number of BJD MLAs including some ministers were linked to Archana Nag’s blackmailing racket.
