A superintending engineer in Odisha, caught possessing ₹1.40 crore in cash, was found operating two bank accounts in the name of his deceased mother-in-law.
The value of property acquired by Ashish Kumar Dash, former Superintending Engineer of Rural Works of Malkangiri, has now crossed ₹9 crore, according to the Odisha Vigilance Directorate.
While most corrupt officials invest in the real estate sector, Mr. Dash had acquired cash and gold, said a vigilance officer.
