The Special Vigilance Court, Bhubaneswar, on Thursday issued an order on confiscation of the properties of former Gridco Superintending Engineer Nrusingha Sahoo in connection with the case of accumulation of assets disproportionate to the known sources of his income.
The court directed Sahoo to deposit Rs 9,51,529 within 30 days of the passing of the order, failing which his assets would be confiscated.
According to Public Prosecutor Satyabadi Das, earlier in 1996 when Sahoo was posted in Cuttack, a case was registered against him for allegedly accumulating Rs 13.25 lakh disproportionate to the known sources of his income.
The Special Court settled the matter and directed Sahoo to deposit Rs 9,51,529 within 30 days of the order.
