Bhubaneswar: Odisha Vigilance has arrested Rabi Narayana Prusty, Chief Engineer of Odisha State Pollution Control Board for allegedly possessing properties disproportionate to his known sources of income.
Prusty was forwarded to the Court of Special Judge, Vigilance, Bhubaneswar.
“As Prusty was found in possession of disproportionate assets, which he could not account for satisfactorily, Vigilance Cell Division registered a case against him under relevant Sections of the PC Act-1988 as amended by Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act-2018,” the Vigilance said.
“Unearthing of more assets, including benami assets, is likely. Investigation of the case is in progress,” it added.
Earlier on Thursday, the vigilance officials had conducted simultaneous raids at seven locations including office of Prusty to unearth his movable and immovable property.
