BHUBANESWAR: Vigilance sleuths on Wednesday arrested a peon in the office of Drug Inspector, Cuttack while he was receiving an illegal gratification of `18,000 from a licence applicant from Jajpur.
The accused Srikant Sahu was collecting the bribe from one Subhasis Ray who had applied for a wholesale drug distributor licence.
“Soon after Sahu’s arrest, the sleuths conducted raids on the house of Drug Inspector Jagannath Mallik in Cuttack,” Vigilance SP Basant Panigrahi said. Further investigation is on.
