According to officials, upon spotting the Vigilance team, Panda locked himself inside his house and switched off his mobile phone to avoid contact.

Following the discovery, Vigilance authorities carried out further searches at multiple locations linked to Panda on Wednesday.

An investigation is currently underway to ascertain the extent of disproportionate assets in possession of the Assistant Engineer.
