Nabin Nanda suspended from BJD, rubbishes sex racket link

ONI Bureau:  Odisha’s former Dhenkanal MLA Nabin Nanda was suspended from the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) by party supremo Naveen Patnaik today on basis of information about his alleged link with sex racket.

Nabin’s lawyer Asim Kumar confirmed that Nanda was arrested on Saturday evening from the spa ‘All about Family Spa’ at Park Street area in Kolkata under the Immoral Trafficking Act and was bailed out on Sunday.

However, Nabin rubbished any connection with the sex racket and claimed he was detained after he entered the spa during an attempt to chase a pickpocket.

“The allegations’ regarding involvement in the sex racket and what has been propagated is completely fabricated. I was out for shopping around 7 p.m. on Saturday when my pocket was picked. I chased the miscreants and entered the spa and was caught by a police team that mistook me to be a client,” Nanda said.
