Bhubaneswar: Property dealer Prabhat Ranjan Pati on Friday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here in connection with the money laundering case against lady blackmailer Archana Nag.
The ED summoned the businessman in connection with sale of a land to Archana and her business associate Khageswar Patra.

Earlier in the morning, film producer Pramod Swain had appeared before the ED again for interrogation in money laundering case against Archana Nag.
