Nabarangpur: Vigilance sleuths apprehended an official working in the office of district education officer in Odisha’s Nabarangpur district while taking bribe on Thursday.

A complaint was filed with the Vigilance stating that Bikash Sana, accountant-cum-programmer in the office of district education officer at Nabarangpur, was demanding bribe of Rs 1 lakh for processing transport bills of rice to be distributed in schools for midday meal and releasing the security deposit favour of the complainant.
