Cuttack: The Orissa High Court has rejected the anticipatory bail petition of honeytrap kingpin Archana Nag’s husband Jagabandhu Chand.
The High Court refused to hear Jagabandhu’s bail application on the ground that he has already been arrested by the police. Jagabandhu had filed the petition before his arrest, but the court had fixed the date of its hearing on Thursday.
However, the high court stated that he can withdraw the case and file another petition for regular bail later. Jagabandhu was arrested on October 22 while his wife Archana was arrested on October 6 on charges of honey trapping bigwigs and extorting huge amount of money from them.
Both Archana and Jagabandhu are now lodged at Jharpada special jail in Bhubaneswar. Archana was produced in Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) court here on Wednesday in connection with a blackmailing case filed against her by Odia film producer Akshay Parija.
This is Archana’s first appearance in court since her arrest on October 6. Her bail hearing was conducted via video conferencing earlier due to security reasons and the court had rejected her plea.
