Bhubaneswar: The Supreme Court-monitored Special Investigation Team on black money has reportedly suggested a probe by the Income Tax department into illegal bank transactions of Archana Nag, who is in Jharpada Special Jail in Odisha capital for allegedly amassing wealth by blackmailing prominent people in Odisha using sexually explicit videos.
Suspecting presence of black money in the honeytrap racket, the SIT had asked the Commissionerate Police and ED to share details of the case background ahead of its meeting to be held in Delhi on November 12.
According to reports, the ED told the SIT of having traced assets worth Rs 10 crore in the name of Archana Nag and her links with influential people in the state.
Meanwhile, the central agency has expedited the probe into the money laundering case registered against Archana, her husband Jagabandhu Chand and two associates. Her father was quizzed to elicit information about her back transactions and modus operandi on Sunday. The process to extract information from seized phones has also begun.
