Senior IAS officer Bishnupada Sethi resigns amidst CBI raid controversy
BHUBANESWAR: On a day of twists and turns, senior IAS officer Bishnupada Sethi’s premises were searched by the CBI only to be followed by his purported resignation in protest of the raid here on Tuesday.
Drama followed in front of the IAS officer’s residence as Sethi engaged with the CBI officers accusing the latter of conducting the raids without any warrant or in presence of lady personnel.
Sethi, currently posted as an officer on special duty (OSD) in the General Administration and Public Grievance department, had found himself embroiled in the row in December last when the central agency served him a notice after arresting group general manager of Bridge and Roof (Company) Ltd for allegedly taking a Rs 10 lakh bribe from the director of a Bhubaneswar-based company.
