Odisha anti-corruption bureau recovers sale deeds in searches
Odisha’s anti-corruption bureau officials have come across a contract employee who purchased 60 plots in the first five years of his service period.
The accused Bikash Kumar Behera is working as Gram Panchayat Technical Assistant (GPTA) in the rank of a junior engineer.
“The GPTA has not earned more than ₹10 lakh in his total service period, but we have detected movable and immovable properties, worth over ₹1.02 crore from his possession,” said Birendra Nayak, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Vigilance), Rourkela.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
