“I gave the money as a social worker,” he said. The amount of money Das gave is yet to be known, even as sources said the ED grilled him in connection with transfer of around Rs 10 lakh to Archana.

The ED questiond Parija for several hours too as he had lodged a complaint against Archana and Jagabandhu alleging the duo was demanding Rs 3 crore from him as extortion.
