Bhubaneswar: Sextortion accused Archana Nag was today released from the Jharpada Jail here. She was arrested and remanded to judicial custody, around 14 months ago.

Archana's husband Jagabandhu Chand came to the jail to receive her as she walked out of the prison, this morning.

The Orissa High Court had on December 4 granted bail to Archana in a honeytrap case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Earlier, Archana was granted bail in a blackmailing case and a sextortion case.

She has been directed by the court to cooperate with the investigation process and not to influence witnesses.

"I will not remain silent over injustice. I will expose everyone. The law will take appropriate action against the accused. The case is currently sub-judice. I will extend my cooperation to the investigators," she said while speaking to media persons outside the jail.

Notably, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been investigating a high-profile honeytrap case involving Archana, her husband Jagabandhu Chand, and their associates Khageswar Patra and Shradhanjali Behera on the basis of a blackmailing case filed by Ollywood filmmaker Akshay Parija.

Archana is accused of extorting money from influential persons by blackmailing them with videos of intimate moments between her and them.
