Bhubaneswar,(Orissa Today) Feb 3: Income Tax (I-T) department officials interrogated conwoman Hansita Abhilipsa and her aide Anil Mohanty inside Jharpada jail on Monday over their alleged illegal accumulation of assets.
Sources said two I-T teams visited the jail and questioned the duo regarding their illicit wealth. The interrogation aimed to uncover further details about their political connections and financial dealings. Hansita and Anil are accused of amassing massive wealth and cash through fraudulent activities.
Earlier, the I-T department conducted raids at 16 locations, including Bhubaneswar, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Jharkhand, and New Delhi, linked to the duo. The raids led to the seizure of properties worth hundreds of crores, including benami assets valued at ₹58 crore.
In Bhubaneswar, searches were carried out at their offices in Raghunathpur, Anil Mohanty’s residence at SBT Apartments, and another house in Unit-8.
Following their arrest in December last year, shocking details emerged about their fraudulent operations. The two allegedly duped high-profile businessmen, particularly in the mining and construction sectors, by impersonating the daughter and son-in-law of the Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Investigations also revealed Hansita’s possible links with several politicians.
