Retired IFS Officer Jailed for Corruption in Odisha
Imagine a person who used to work in the forest service, like a park ranger.
This person, named Amresh Kumar Jaiswal, was found to have more money and things than he should have.
This is against the rules, and it's called corruption.
A special court looked at the case and decided that Jaiswal did something wrong.
The court has decided to punish him by making him stay in prison for two years.
Also, he has to pay a fine.
The people in charge are also going to try to stop Jaiswal from getting his pension.
Retired IFS officer Amresh Kumar Jaiswal was convicted on corruption charges.
The Special Vigilance Court sentenced Jaiswal to two years of rigorous imprisonment.
Jaiswal was charged under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
He was found to have disproportionate assets.
Odisha Vigilance will seek to halt Jaiswal's pension.
