Bhubaneswar: A Revenue Supervisor at Suliapada Tehsil in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district was apprehended by Vigilance sleuths on Wednesday for allegedly taking Rs 2500 bribe from a visually impaired man.

The accused, identified as Sanjay Kumar Padhi, allegedly took Rs 2,500 from the man to facilitate the sanction of incentive amount in his favour towards marriage between a disabled and a normal person as per the state government scheme, a Vigilance release said.

The man got married to a normal person without disability on November 3, 2022. He was entitled to get the incentive amount of Rs 2.5 Lakh as per the scheme of the government.
