Madhya Pradesh Police along with the Indore district authorities raided the home, media firm and three other establishments of a local businessman in connection with a honey-trap case, an official said today.
The raids were conducted at businessman Jitendra Soni's home, hotel, restaurant and night club in Indore late on Saturday night, he said.
"Soni also owns a local eveninger. The investigators also went to his newspaper's office," the official added.
The authorities have so far not shared any details of the searches conducted at Mr Soni's premises.
Five women and a man were arrested from Indore and Bhopal in September for allegedly running the honey-trap and blackmailing racket.
The racket was busted after an engineer of the Indore Municipal Corporation approached the police, claiming he was being blackmailed over some objectionable video clips by the accused who were trying to extort about Rs 3 crore from him.
The accused are currently in judicial custody.
