The deposits were reportedly made between 2017 and 2022.

Shradhanjali had earlier deposed before the ED for the first time on November 23 and questioned by the investigators for over 12 hours.

ED has registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Archana, her husband Jagabandhu Chand, his business partner Khageswar Patra and Shradhanjali.

Archana is accused of extorting money from influential persons by blackmailing them with videos of intimate moments between her and them. Shradhanjali had alleged involvement in the offence.
