Bhubaneswar, July 10: Odia film and television actor Partha Sarathi Ray was arrested on Thursday by the Badagada Police in Bhubaneswar, following the issuance of a non-bailable warrant (NBW) by the JMFC Court. The arrest comes in connection with multiple serious allegations leveled against the actor, including kidnapping, extortion, attempted murder, brandishing a firearm, and circulation of obscene videos.
According to police sources, the Bhubaneswar JMFC Court had earlier directed Ray to appear in court. However, after he allegedly violated court orders and behaved in a manner deemed disrespectful during a previous hearing, the court issued an NBW against him. Acting on the warrant, Badagada Police took Ray into custody earlier today.
Ray, a well-known face in the Odia entertainment industry, has appeared in several popular films and television serials, including Phalguna Chaitra, Dalchini, Trikanya, Charitra, and Dear Purusha. The ongoing investigation links him to serious criminal activities involving extortion threats, attempted homicide, and the unlawful sharing of explicit content.
Further legal proceedings are underway, and police officials have stated that more details will be revealed following interrogation.
