Cuttack: Based on reliable information a short while ago, Sunil Kumar Behera, the Commandant of 1st Battalion, Odisha State Armed Police (OSAP) in Dhenkanal was intercepted today at CDA Sector-11 near Madhusudan Setu by a team Odisha Vigilance sleuths while he was coming from the district to his residence in Cuttack City.
The Vigilance team found cash of Rs 1,31,535 (suspected to be ill-gotten money) in his possession.
