Ex-DGP Takes Charge As Lokayukta Member

Bhubaneswar: After handing over the charge of Odisha DGP to BK Sharma Thursday morning, IPS officer RP Sharma assumed office as a member of Lokayukta.

on Tuesday, Governor Ganeshi Lal had approved the recommendation of Lokayukta Selection Committee to appoint Sharma as a new member of the anti-corruption watchdog.

Notably, Odisha was the first state to pass the Lokayukta Bill and enact the law on February 14, 2014.

The anti-corruption watchdog started functioning in the state on April 8.

The five-member constitutional body, headed by former Chief Justice of Gauhati High Court Ajit Singh, took charge in March. The other two members are retired Justice BK Nayak and former IFS officer Debabrata Swain.
