Bhubaneswar: The Tata Power Central Odisha Distribution Ltd (TPCODL) has suspended its employee a day after he was arrested by Vigilance on bribe charge in Bhubaneswar.

The power distribution company said the officer was suspended immediately after his arrest and an investigation started into the charges.

“We have taken immediate action by suspending the officer in question and initiating an internal inquiry into the matter. Once the investigation report is available, the strictest measures will be taken against the individual found guilty.
