Controversies
In December 2024, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested the Group General Manager of Bridge and Roof Company (India) Ltd in Bhubaneswar for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹10 lakh from a private contractor in exchange for awarding work orders and expediting bill payments.[8][9] The bribe was reportedly delivered during a trap laid by the CBI, which also arrested the contractor and a third person accused of facilitating the exchange.[10] Following the arrests, the CBI conducted raids at eight locations in Bhubaneswar and Kolkata, seizing cash, digital devices, and documents.[8] The case triggered political controversy in Odisha, with Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leaders demanding that the state’s ST & SC Development Minister, Nityanand Gond, also be brought under investigation. They questioned how contracts worth ₹37 crore were awarded to the PSU without cabinet-level approval, as required for high-value projects.[11] A CBI team later visited the ST & SC Development department office in connection with the case.[11][12]
