Sting operation exposes bribe demand inside Sonepur jail!

Serious allegations of bribery have emerged against the jailer at the Sonepur Sub-Jail after a sting operation allegedly exposed corrupt practices inside the prison premises. The incident that occurred on Wednesday has raised concerns about integrity and accountability within the correctional system in Odisha.

According to the allegations, a person approached Jailer Panda Babu to get bail bond papers signed for a relative lodged inside the jail. It is claimed that the jailer demanded and accepted hundreds of rupees in return for signing the bail bond documents.

A purported video of the alleged sting operation shows Rs 500 currency note being handed over to facilitate the signing of the bail bond papers. The footage further reveals that the concerned individual is seen negotiating the deal after accepting the money. It is also alleged that extra money was demanded as part of the transaction, indicating a pattern of bribery rather than a one-time incident.

Video Goes Viral, No Official Response Yet

The purported video showing the exchange of money has since gone viral, triggering widespread outrage. However, despite repeated attempts, no response could be obtained from the jailer concerned regarding the allegations.

The incident has once again brought allegations of corruption within public institutions into sharp focus. As the video continues to circulate widely, questions are being raised about oversight and accountability within the prison administration. The matter underscores the urgent need for a thorough inquiry to restore public trust in the system.
