Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 25 (IANS) In a major crackdown against corruption, Odisha Vigilance on Sunday arrested another senior clerk of the State Forest Department for embezzling government funds amounting to over Rs 2.60 crore. The accused was identified as Babulu Suna, Senior Assistant-cum-In-Charge, Establishment Section, Office of the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Sunabeda Wildlife Division, Nuapada in Odisha. The accused allegedly embezzled government funds of over Rs 2.60 crore since 2023 by creating false bills under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) and Revised Assured Career Progression (RACP) schemes. According to Odisha Vigilance, a detailed verification and subsequent investigation revealed that Suna allegedly misappropriated government funds by creating fraudulent arrear bills under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) and Revised Assured Career Progression (RACP) schemes. The fraudulent bills were processed using the credentials and identities of former, retired, and deceased employees of the Sunabeda Wildlife Division to siphon off public funds into private bank accounts of his family members (spouse, brother, sister, and two close associates), Odisha Vigilance said in a statement on Sunday. The investigation further revealed that the accused allegedly manipulated official records to secure periodic salary increments beyond his legitimate entitlement. He also generated excess monthly salary bills over a sustained period, wrongfully drawing more than Rs 10.58 lakh. The total amount allegedly misappropriated by Suna was assessed at Rs 2,60,21,306. In this connection, two cases (24/26 and 25/26) have been registered at the Koraput Vigilance Police Station against the accused under the Prevention of Corruption Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The accused Suna, who had allegedly been absconding for the past six months, was apprehended by Odisha Vigilance from his hideout in Balangir on Saturday night. He is being produced before the Court of the Special Judge, Vigilance, Bhawanipatna. It is worth noting that on October 18, the vigilance arrested a senior clerk of the Forest Department and two of his associates in Dhenkanal district on charges of misappropriating government funds amounting to Rs 65,90,773 over a period spanning 2016 to 2026.

Addressing the gathering during the event, Sahu stated that the UMI Conference has emerged as an important national platform for shaping the future of urban transport.

ISL 2026/27: Odisha FC look to regain momentum in clash with NorthEast United

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 23 (IANS) With just one point from two games, Odisha FC will look to secure their first win of the Indian Super League (ISL)_2026-27 season when they host NorthEast United FC at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Saturday. The Highlanders have won both their opening matches to sit at the top of the standings, while Odisha have collected just one point from their first two games. The fixture brings back memories of their previous meeting in March, when Odisha registered a 4-1 victory, with Rahul K.P. scoring twice and Subham Bhattacharya finding the net on his debut. However, head coach TG Purushothaman expects a different challenge against a NorthEast United side that has built strong combinations over the past few seasons. It will be a tough match for us. They are a well-gelled team. They have been playing together for two to three years. Their understanding and combinations are good, Purushothaman said. The Odisha coach stressed the importance of handling expectations and giving his teams best effort, saying, We have to go without pressure; pressure won't give you anything, it will give you all the negative things. We have to overcome the pressure and we have to find a way on how we need to perform well in a positive way. NorthEast United head coach Juan Pedro Benali played down the significance of his sides position at the top of the early standings, urging his players not to underestimate Odisha FC. Reflecting on last seasons defeat in Guwahati, he said, Last season, everybody underestimated Odisha, and they beat us here. We don't want to make the same mistake. He added, Every game is a new story, new tactics, new everything. If you think the last game means you will win the next one, you're mistaken. Benali also praised forward Parthib Gogois team-first attitude after he featured for only a few minutes in his 100th appearance for the club, highlighting the importance of collective progress over individual milestones. NorthEast United will be without defender Asheer Akhtar, who is sidelined with a broken rib. Benali confirmed that Asheer could return to training next week. Meanwhile, Odisha's new signing Stephen Eze remains unfazed by the growing home expectations. The fans will be here; there are too many expectations. I am just focused on the game. No pressure. I will do what I can do best to help my team. The hosts will look to make home advantage count as they seek to turn their performances into points.

Odisha: Congress team visits Baleshwar to probe minor girls rape and murder

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 23 (IANS) Following the directions of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president Bhakta Charan Das, a party fact-finding team visited Jaleswar in Baleshwar district on Friday to investigate the rape and murder of a minor girl whose decomposed body was recovered on Thursday. According to an office order of the OPCC, the Congress fact-finding team will proceed to the victim girls native village and meet the deceased's family as well as visit the spot of the incident. The delegation comprises Ashok Das, Deputy Chief Whip of the Congress Legislature Party in the Assembly and Balasore District In-charge, Debiprasanna Chand, Former MLA, Sanjeeb Giri, PCC General Secretary, etc. It is worth noting that the victim, a Class X student, was acquainted with the accused, Chandrakant Jena alias Kanha, of Sultanpur village under Jaleswar police limits. Local sources claimed that on October 16, Kahna took the victim on his motorcycle on the pretext of taking her to a nearby market. After several hours, when the victim did not return home, her parents approached the police, alleging that Kahna had kidnapped her. However, the local police reportedly let him go after questioning him. After obtaining reliable clues in the case, police brought Kanha back to the police station on Thursday, where he reportedly confessed during interrogation to raping and murdering the girl. Based on information elicited during interrogation, police recovered the victims half-burnt body from the crime scene on Thursday. Following the recovery of the body, the victims relatives and villagers staged a protest, demanding action against the local police for their alleged negligence in handling the case. Speaking to media persons on Friday, Baleshwar SP Pratyush Diwaker said, A deeply tragic incident has taken place. On October 16th, we received a missing person report concerning a minor girl. The suspect was promptly taken into custody. Following sustained interrogation, it was revealed that on the day of her disappearance, October 16th, the accused took her away and subjected her to non-consensual physical abuse. When she resisted and rejected his advances, the accused acted in sudden rage, strangling her to death. The Baleshwar SP further stated that the investigation has since been entrusted to a Deputy SP-rank officer. He also denied that anyone else was involved in this heinous crime. Our priority is to expedite the chargesheet and pursue a fast-track trial to ensure a swift conviction, he added. Taking the matter seriously, the Baleswar SP suspended Sub-Inspector Karan Marandi of Jaleswar police station for negligence and transferred the police station's Inspector-in-Charge (IIC) with immediate effect.
