Odisha’s vigilance department sleuths found packets of huge cash being thrown from the house of additional sub-collector of Odisha’s Nabarangpur, one of the poorest districts of India, to his neighbour’s roof during raids in Bhubaneswar early on Friday (June 23).
When vigilance directorate officials reached the residence of additional sub-collector Prasanta Kumar Rout in Kanan Vihar, Bhubaneswar for search on the allegation of acquisition of disproportionate assets, they saw his neighbours collecting packets from their roof and rushing inside home.
