From Rs 6,000 Salary To Rs 2 Crore Cash: Odisha Engineer Under Scanner
In a major disproportionate assets investigation, Odisha Vigilance on Saturday launched simultaneous raids at nine locations linked to Baikuntha Nath Behera, a government engineer, recovering around Rs 2 crore in cash from bank lockers allegedly linked to his family.
Behera worked as an assistant executive engineer (AEE) with the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), in Kandhamal's Baliguda.
The searches, carried out across Bhubaneswar, Balasore, Jajpur and Baliguda, have also uncovered multiple luxury properties, high-value land holdings and other financial assets. The operation is still underway.
