Cuttack: The Commissionerate Police on Tuesday arrested three persons, including the former Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) corporator Ranjita Biswal on extortion charges.
According to sources, the trio had demanded Rs 1 lakh from a businessman. The extortion money was seized from the residence of gangster brothers Sushant and Sushil Dhalasamant, who are currently lodged in jail.
It may be mentioned here that a special squad of the Commissionerate Police had arrested Biswal on April 10 last year in connection with her alleged links with the gangsters and seized two guns from her possession.
Prior to this, she was in March 2018 on charges of supplying illegal firearms to contract killers on the instruction from the gangster siblings.
She was granted conditional bail by the Orissa High Court in July in the same year against a bail bond of Rs 20,000 and two sureties.
Ranjita was elected as a Corporator in 2015 and was dismissed from BJD’s primary membership following her arrest on March 7, 2018.
