Paralakhemundi: In a shocking incident, a peon allegedly made an engineer drink urine instead of water at the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) Department Office at R Udayagiri of Odisha’s Gajapati district.
A complaint has been filed by Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) Guruprasad Pattnayak with the police in connection with the incident which reportedly took place on the night of July 23.
As per the complaint, the AEE, who was working late at the office, asked Subash Chandra Behera, who works as a peon, to get drinking water. However, Behera allegedly handed him a bottle filled with urine.
Due to work pressure, Pattnayak drank from the bottle now knowing that it contained urine. Minutes later, he started feeling unwell and grew suspicious. He had to be admitted to the MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur for treatment as his condition worsened.
After recovering, AEE lodged a formal complaint with R. Udayagiri police against the peon. Based on the complaint, police have registered a case and launched an investigation.
The motive behind the act of the peon is yet to be ascertained and probe into the incident is in progress.
