Rayagada: In the Rayagada district of Odisha, vigilante investigators detained a junior engineer on bribery charges on Tuesday.
The Vigilance Department set up a trap after receiving a complaint that Jitendra Pattnaik, a junior electrical engineer in the district's Padmapur Section, was requesting a Rs 10,000 bribe in exchange for restoring the disrupted power connection to the complainant's lift irrigation point.
According to the plan, the complainant proceeded to pay Pattnaik the bribe. The Vigilance authorities caught the junior engineer in the act of accepting the bribe money. The authorities took the accused's whole bribe payment and recovered it.
In this regard, Koraput Vigilance has filed a case under the PC Amendment Act, 2018 and further investigation is ongoing.
