In the latest development in the sextortion case, The Orissa High Court on Tuesday granted conditional bail to Archana Nag, in connection with a money laundering case.
Nag has been granted bail in connection with the case at Nayapali Police Station involving film producer Akshaya Parija.
While approving bail for the lady blackmailer, the High Court asked Archana to extend cooperation in investigation and not to go out, sources said.
Earlier on March 15, the State apex court had granted conditional bail to Jagabandhu Chand, husband of Archana Nag. He was granted the bail in the same Akshaya Parija case.
Archana and her husband allegedly accumulated assets worth crores of rupees in just four years by extorting money from influential persons through blackmail and honeytrap. The ED has so far traced Rs 2.5 crore deposited in their accounts between 2017 and 2022.
