Bhubaneswar: Nayapalli Police have arrested Ajit Sahu, son of former minister Nrusinha Sahu, following a complaint filed by Rajya Sabha MP Sujit Kumar over an alleged land-related fraud case.
According to the information available, the complaint relates to an alleged transaction in which money was taken on the promise of providing land. The case dates back to 2024, when Sujit Kumar reportedly filed a complaint against Ajit Sahu.
Ajit Sahu Arrested Following Complaint
The arrest was carried out by Nayapalli Police in connection with the case. Reports indicate that the matter involved an allegation that Ajit Sahu had taken money on the assurance of providing land but the promised land was not subsequently provided.
The police action follows legal proceedings connected with the case. Ajit Sahu was reportedly taken into custody from an apartment in the Nuasahi area of Bhubaneswar.
The case has drawn attention because the complainant is Rajya Sabha MP Sujit Kumar and the accused is the son of former minister Nrusinha Sahu.
What the Complaint Alleges
The complaint concerns an alleged land deal from 2024. According to the allegations, money was given in connection with a promise to provide land.
However, the matter has two different versions. While the complaint alleges fraud linked to a land transaction, Ajit Sahu has reportedly rejected the allegations and described the dispute differently.
According to reports, Sahu claimed that the matter was related to a personal financial transaction rather than a land fraud. He also reportedly stated that a substantial portion of the money had been repaid and that additional time had been sought for the remaining amount.
These claims remain part of the ongoing legal dispute and should be considered allegations unless established through the legal process.
Police Action and Legal Proceedings
The arrest by Nayapalli Police marks the latest development in the case. Reports indicate that legal directions connected to the matter were issued after Ajit Sahu did not appear before the court.
Police subsequently acted on the proceedings and took him into custody.
Further legal proceedings are expected to determine the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged transaction. The arrest itself does not establish guilt, and the allegations will be subject to due legal process.
The case has brought renewed attention to the alleged land transaction involving Rajya Sabha MP Sujit Kumar. Ajit Sahu arrested in connection with the complaint is the latest development, with further proceedings expected to clarify the dispute.
