Odisha Vigilance seizes ₹21.88 lakh from engineer accused of collecting bribes
Odisha’s vigilance department confiscated about 21.88 lakh rupees from a superintending engineer alleged to have accepted kickbacks from contractors. The official, who entered the state civil service in 2016 with a monthly salary near 25,000 rupees, is under investigation for corruption. Authorities say the seized amount reflects suspected illicit payments. The probe is part of a broader anti‑corruption drive targeting public officials in the state.
