A four-member panel has been formed to investigate allegations of mistreatment of two Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officers at Lok Bhavan in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The incident occurred when the officers, who were on official duty with Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax Dr. D Sudhakara Rao, were reportedly subjected to 'unwarranted behaviour' by security staff and forcibly removed from the premises. They were taken to the Capital Police Station, where false allegations of inebriation were disproven. Dr. Rao expressed his deep concern in a letter to the governor's office, highlighting that the officers were treated as unauthorized entrants despite being on official duty. The panel is tasked with interviewing both parties involved and is expected to submit its findings by Tuesday, after which the matter will be reviewed by the Governor. Police sources confirmed that no case was filed against the IRS officers.
