The held doctor has been identified as Sukanti Panda, Incharge, Sinapali CHC.
As per the allegation against Panda, she demanded a sum of Rs 7,000 as bribe from one Mahesh Sahis of the hospital a few days back to release the latter’s pending salary for the last three months.
Mahesh who works as a Sweeper in the CHC found it difficult to pay the bribe and took the matter to the notice of Nuapada Vigilance unit a couple of days ago.
