Odisha Vigilance arrests IAS officer Dhiman Chakma for accepting bribe
Bhubaneswar, June 9 (UNI) Dhiman Chakma, a 2021-batch IAS officer and Sub-Collector of Dharamgarh in Kalahandi, was arrested on Monday by Odisha Vigilance for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs. 10 lakh from a local businessman. Vigilance officials also recovered Rs. 47 lakh from his official residence during a search operation on Sunday. The IAS officer allegedly demanded a total bribe of Rs. 20 lakh, accepting Rs. 10 lakh as an installment while threatening to take action against the businessman if the payment was not made. With no other option, the complainant reported the matter to the Vigilance authorities. Acting on the complaint, a trap was laid on the night of June 8, and Dhiman Chakma was caught red-handed by a team of Odisha Vigilance in his government quarters at Dharamgarh, taking the bribe from the complainant. The entire bribe amount was recovered from Chakma's possession and seized in the presence of witnesses. Vigilance sources said that both hand-wash tests of Chakma gave positive chemical reactions, confirming acceptance and handling of the bribe money. Following the trap, simultaneous searches were conducted at his government quarters and office chamber in Dharamgarh. During the search, cash amounting to Rs. 47 lakh was unearthed from his residence. As he could not provide a satisfactory explanation for the large sum of money, it was seized. Dhiman Chakma was arrested on Monday and produced before the Vigilance Court in Kalahandi. The Vigilance Cell has registered a case under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018, and further investigation is underway. Earlier, Dhiman Chakma joined the Odisha cadre as an Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer of the 2019 batch. After completing his training, he worked as an Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF) in Baripada, Mayurbhanj, from June 2021. In 2021, after clearing the Civil Services Examination, he was appointed as an IAS officer and assigned to the Odisha cadre. Following his training, he took charge as Sub-Collector, Dharamgarh, Kalahandi, in January 2024 and was serving in this position until his arrest. UNI DP BD

China woman's rubbish collection takes over ₹43 crore luxury flat, neighbours flee
In one of Shanghai's most affluent neighbourhoods, a woman's persistent hoarding of rubbish has become a serious issue, sparking widespread complaints and forcing some residents to leave their homes. The woman, surnamed Cheng and in her 60s, lives alone in a sprawling 157 square metre apartment valued at 36 million yuan (approximately ₹43 crore ) in the Huangpu District, reported the South China Morning Post. Also read: Princess Iman Pahlavi ties the knot in Paris. First pics from dreamy wedding Neighbours expressed growing frustration over Cheng's unsanitary habits. 'She picks up all kinds of rubbish, from cardboard to bottles and plastic bags to food waste. Her flat is full of rubbish, in the bathtub and on an expensive sofa which was imported from Italy and is valued at more than 200,000 yuan (US$30,000),' said a neighbour identified only as Li. The situation has led to a serious infestation of pests. 'Flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches and centipedes are commonly seen in her home and in the corridor outside. There are even dead mice in the hallway,' Li added. According to a community committee official, the stench on the entire 16th floor, where Cheng resides, has become unbearable. 'A young couple previously living on the 15th floor could not put up with the foul environment, so they sold their flat and moved out,' the official explained. Despite warnings that her behaviour poses a public health risk, Cheng remains defiant. The official noted, 'She refused to listen; instead, she threatened to set the mess on fire.' Attempts to intervene have included reaching out to Cheng's family. While her daughter initially promised to help persuade her mother to clean up, she later refused, stating she did not want to interfere in her mother's affairs. Cheng's husband, who lives separately, has recently been contacted by the committee. He agreed to arrange medical treatment for her in early June, according to the report.
