Bhubaneswar: Odisha vigilance sleuths have recovered ‘ill-gotten’ assets worth crores of rupees during raids on properties of RWSS assistant executive engineer of Udala in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district, Rabinarayan Panda.
On Tuesday, another Rs 2 lakh was recovered during searches at his official residence at Udala, taking the total to Rs 28.9 lakh.
According to official sources, huge movable and immovable assets have been unearthed in the names of Panda and his family members.
ASSETS UNEARTHED
It is pertinent to mention here that Rabinarayan Panda is being questioned to ascertain the source of the assets.
The overall evaluation is also likely to increase as Vigilance sleuths are expected to open a bank locker on Tuesday. Though the vigilance officers found at least a dozen costly wristwatches with Panda’s son, those have not been seized yet.
Meanwhile, Gopinath Swain, Soumit’s father-in-law, told the media that the cash seized from his house belong to a friend, who had kept it with him to purchase land. “We have documents to substantiate our claim,” he said.
Notably, the raids were conducted at eight places in Bhubaneswar, Kendrapada, and Udala, Mayurbhanj on Monday.
