Indore, May 30
A special investigation team probing a “honeytrap” case in Indore in Madhya Pradesh that made national headlines in 2019 on Sunday asked former state chief minister and Congress leader Kamal Nath to submit a pen drive in his possession as “extremely important evidence”.
Five women and a man were arrested in Bhopal and Indore in September 2019 for allegedly trapping well-placed people and blackmailing them with objectionable videos.
The SIT notice sent to Nath under relevant CrPC provisions said he had claimed in an online press conference on May 21 that he was in possession of a pen drive/CD of the honeytrap case.
The notice went on to state that this “pen drive/CD was extremely important evidence” in the FIR lodged in the Palasia police station, and it would make the probe more effective and stronger. – PTI
