Arrest of a woman suspected to be involved in blackmailing using obscene photographs and videos has appeared to have made several politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen nervous in Odisha.
The woman identified as Archana Nag was picked up by police on Friday. Her bail plea has been rejected in the local court. All came to light when an unknown girl lodged a complaint in police station against well-known Odia film producer, Akshaya Parija, accusing him of sexually exploiting her.
Mr. Parija lodged another complaint police station saying the woman Archana Nag and another woman, Shradhanjali Behera, had made extortion demand of ₹3 crore from him. “They issued a threat. If I fail to give the said amount, they would cut me into pieces,” said the film producer in his complaint.
