Rayagada: Vigilance sleuths on Tuesday apprehended a junior engineer on bribe charge in Odisha’s Rayagada district.

Following a complaint that Jitendra Pattnaik, junior engineer, Electrical, in Padmapur Section of the district was demanding a bribe of Rs 10,000 in order to restore disrupted electric supply to the lift irrigation point of the complainant, the Vigilance laid a trap.
