Cuttack: Suspended Odisha cadre IFS officer Abhay Kant Pathak on Friday moved the Orissa High Court seeking bail.
Pathak was arrested by the Vigilance on November 27 for allegedly having assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. He was found in possession of properties worth more than Rs 9.35 crore which he could not account for satisfactorily.
