From Rs 6,000 Salary To Rs 2 Crore In Assets: Odisha Engineer Under Scanner

Odisha Vigilance conducted simultaneous raids at nine locations linked to Assistant Executive Engineer Baikuntha Nath Behera, uncovering multiple luxury properties, high-value land holdings, and a significant amount of cash. The searches, carried out across Bhubaneswar, Balasore, Jajpur, and Baliguda districts, are in response to allegations that Behera possessed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The operation is ongoing, with investigators examining the valuation of gold ornaments, bank deposits, investments, and other financial assets. The total value of the assets allegedly accumulated by Behera is expected to become clearer once the searches and valuation process are completed.
