The rags-to-riches story
Background
Archana Nag hailed from a poor family in Kalahandi district, a place which was once a centre of extreme poverty and starvation deaths. In 2015, she shifted to Bhubaneswar and reportedly started working with a private security company. After working there for a few days, she joined a beauty parlour in Baramunda, Bhubaneswar.
The honey-trapping plan
After getting married to Jagabandhu Chand, Archana, along with her husband, allegedly ran a sex racket while working in the beauty parlour. Her husband, Jagabandhu, operated a used car showroom, and he addressed himself as a political party leader to get along with several influential persons like politicians, builders, businessmen, film markers, and others. As per sources, Archana introduced herself as a lawyer, and particularly made connections with rich and influential people of Odisha and allegedly provided them with the opportunity to get intimate with other women. Reportedly, she was accused of supplying women as per the need of the interested party in return for a lump sum of money. To extort money from the concerned party, Archana used to shoot and capture their intimate moments and later blackmailed them for money. It was speculated that around 15 girls were involved, acting as per Archana’s instructions to make the influential people fall prey to the sexual trap. She extorted crores of rupees from several rich and powerful personalities in the state, by threatening to release photos and videos of their intimate moments. Within a few months of their marriage, the couple became one of the richest pairs in town. Archana was appointed as the director of Additya Prestige Agro Private Limited on 9 January 2021 and Golden Empress Private Limited on 29 June 2022. She became the owner of ABC motors, a pre-owned car showroom in Rasulgarh, Bhubaneshwar and Aditya Villa Production House in Sundarpada, Bhubaneswar. However, her plan of honey-trapping backfired when the Odia film producer Akshay Parija lodged a complaint against her of threatening and blackmailing him.
