Three officials from the RDA have been found guilty by the Vig court for corruption.

In a recent development, a Vigilance Court in Sundargarh has delivered its verdict on a corruption case involving three officials of the Rourkela Development Authority (RDA). The court has found Medisetti Seshadri, Siva Charan Mohanty, and Manoj Kumar Dash guilty of corruption and has sentenced them to Rigorous Imprisonment. Seshadri, who served as the ex-secretary of RDA, was absent during the hearing and a non-bailable warrant has been issued against him.

The chargesheet filed by Odisha Vigilance accused the three officials of misusing their positions for personal gain and violating government rules. The Special Judge, Vigilance, Sundargarh has convicted Seshadri and Mohanty for abusing their official power and showing undue favor in exchange for financial benefits. Mohanty, who was the ex-executive engineer and PHD-cum-engineering member, has been sentenced to two years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 5,000. In case of non-payment, he will have to serve an additional jail term of three months or more.

Moreover, the court has also ordered for the stoppage of Mohanty's pension and the dismissal of Dash from service. Bishnu Charan Dash, the Ex-DSP of Vigilance, Sambalpur Division, had investigated the case and Special Public Prosecutor Shyam Sundar Mishra represented the Vigilance in court. This decision serves as a warning for all government officials to refrain from engaging in corrupt practices and to uphold the integrity of their positions.

The corruption case, which has been ongoing for some time now, has finally come to a close with the conviction of these three officials. The court's decision sends a strong message that corrupt practices will not be tolerated and those found guilty will face the consequences of their actions. The citizens of Rourkela can now have faith that the authorities are committed to combating corruption and ensuring the proper use of public resources. Let this serve as a reminder to all that the law will always prevail and justice will be served.
