The state vigilance directorate booked the doctor after detecting properties worth over Rs 3.23 crore in his possession which was disproportionate to his known sources of income. He was also booked for alleged misappropriation of Odisha State Treatment Fund (OSTF) which he headed.
He was accused of criminal conspiracy, misuse of official position and showing undue favour to different pharmaceutical companies.
