Vigilance Searches IAS Officer's Residences on Corruption Charges
Imagine a government worker named Dhiman Chakma, who was supposed to help people, but instead asked for money (a bribe) to do his job.
The police caught him and found he took a lot of money.
Now, the police are checking his houses in different places like Tripura and Himachal Pradesh to see where the money came from and what he did with it.
They're looking at his bank accounts and other things he owns to make sure everything is fair.
Odisha Vigilance teams searched the residences of suspended IAS officer Dhiman Chakma in Tripura and his relatives in Himachal Pradesh.
Chakma was arrested on June 9th for accepting a Rs 10 lakh bribe from a businessman.
Rs 47 lakh was seized from Chakma's official residence in Dharmagarh during a raid.
Searches are being conducted based on warrants from the Special Judge, Vigilance, Bhawanipatna.
