In a significant operation, Vigilance officials in Odisha have uncovered extensive assets linked to Baikuntha Nath Behera, the Assistant Executive Engineer of the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) in Baliguda. The raids, conducted across nine locations including Bhubaneswar, Baripada, and Dharmasala, have revealed properties valued in crores, comprising five multi-storey buildings and 13 high-value plots. The identified buildings include four palatial structures in Bhubaneswar, with sizes ranging from 1,100 to 10,500 square feet, and additional properties in Jajpur and Baripada. Alongside these findings, officials seized ₹2.66 lakh in cash, and investigations into gold jewellery and financial assets linked to Behera are ongoing. Behera, who began his career as a Junior Engineer in 1999, has seen his salary and position rise significantly over the years, raising questions about the sources of his wealth. The Vigilance Technical Wing is currently involved in measuring and valuing the unearthed properties, and further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
