  "account": "The recently inaugurated Rourkela Circuit House in Odisha has become the center of controversy following allegations made by an adult film star. Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her stay at the facility.\n\nAlmost a month after the police arrested seven persons and seized arms from the premises, the star's claims have sparked fresh concern. She posted a video on Instagram recounting her journey to Rourkela, where she claims she stayed at the Circuit House for a significant project. The star, who boasts over 300,000 Instagram followers, was allegedly treated like a VIP, with a luxury vehicle provided by a local travel operator at the request of a senior official, according to the police.\n\nThree individuals, including the son of a retired SP-rank officer, were questioned by police regarding the arrangements made for the actress on December 1 last year. However, they were allowed to go after questioning. The investigation is probing the booking process, the recommendation for the stay, and whether proper due process was followed.\n\nThe star claimed she had come to Rourkela for a \"biggest project of my life,\" but police are verifying these claims. The Circuit House, a state-run facility, is typically reserved for senior government officials, ministers, MLAs, accredited journalists, and other dignitaries. Last month's raid on the premises resulted in the arrest of seven persons with arms. Notably, Youth BJP leader Prakash Paswan was also arrested from Bihar for allegedly sheltering armed criminals in the facility and subsequently suspended from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).\n\nPolice have sought a detailed report from the Panposh sub-collector's office regarding the booking protocol, past instances, the people hosted, and other relevant information for the ongoing probe. However, the Panposh sub-collector, Chandra Kanta Mallick, has no specific information about the star's stay at the Circuit House.",
