Bhubaneswar: A CBI court has sentenced the branch manager of a bank in Odisha’s Dhenkanal district to rigorous imprisonment for 4 years in a bribe case.

As per the case, a man had filed a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in August, 2016 alleging that Duryodhan Sethy, branch manager at Odisha Gramya Bank at Dadaraghati in Dhenkanal district was demanding bribe from him.
