Getting alerted a 15 member team of Vigilance officials headed by Vigilance Cell DSP Debadutta Seth conducted surprise raid at the residence of the IIC located in Pokhariput area and seized the said amount from Das.

Rakesh Das of Sasan Damodarpur Village in Puri district at present staying at Lingipur here had informed the Vigilance officials that the IIC had demanded Rs 20,000 from him to drop the case being registered against him and save him from arrest.

According to Rakesh, a neighbour named Basudev Patra, owner of Janani Hospital used to burn Bio-medical waste as fuel which used to emit bad smell in the surrounding. Unable to tolerate the foul smell, Rakesh lodged a complaint at the Dhauli police station. Acting on the complaint the police warned Patra to stop burning the bio-medical waste.

“Though Patra stopped burning the fuel but in order to put me in trouble intentionally he lodged a false complaint at the same police station alleging that I have threatened him of dire consequences,” alleged Rakesh.

Vigilance Raid on IIC's residence
On April 16 this year the IIC of Dhauli police station, knowing the case very well lodged by Patra was false, called me and asked me to give Rs 20,000 as bribe to him in order to stop the case going further to avoid arrest. The IIC also said to deposit money in two instalment- depositing Rs 10,000 today and rest on the nest day, alleged Rakesh.

Lastly Rakesh informed the matter to the Vigilance officials here.

Acting on the complaint Vigilance team, in a planned way, caught him red-handed while he was collecting bribe of Rs 10,000 from the complainant in the police station and simultaneously raided the residence of the IIC.
