Three sacked Orissa ministers chargesheeted

Three former ministers of Orissa, sacked by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik after corruption charges were levelled against them, were on Monday charge-sheeted by the state vigilance department.

The charge sheets were filed in the court of the chief judicial magistrate in Cuttack.

Nalinikanta Mohanty (former works and housing minister), Kamala Das (health and family welfare) and Prasanta Kumar Nanda (rural development), who were dismissed on July nine last year, were chargesheeted under section 13(2) read with 13(1) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and section 120(b) of the Indian Penal Code, official sources said.

While Mohanty and Das were cabinet ministers and belonged to the Biju Janata Dal, Nanda (BJP) was a minister of state in the coalition government.

Mohanty, who was also working president of the BJD, has since been expelled from the party.

Besides the three former ministers, charge sheets were also filed against four senior engineers and 10 others representing suppliers and construction firms.
