Bhawanipatna: Vigilance officials arrested the Special Public Prosecutor of the Kalahandi Vigilance Division, Ashutosh Mishra, for corruption on Saturday.
According to Vigilance sources, Mishra was caught red-handed while taking a bribe from a former Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of Mahulapatna outpost.
