Bhawanipatna: Vigilance sleuths apprehended a state government official while taking bribe in Odisha’s Kalahandi district on Friday.
A retired headmaster had lodged a complaint with Vigilance alleging that Judhistir Harijan alias Kumar, head clerk in the office of Block Education Officer at Kalampur in the district was demanding a bribe of Rs 13,000 in order to process and help release retirement benefits to the complainant.
