Peon issued notice for serving ‘water mixed with urine’ to engineer in Odisha

Bhubaneswar, Aug 1: The police on Friday issued a notice to a peon asking him to clarify his alleged role in serving urine instead of drinking water to a newly appointed junior engineer at a government department in Odisha’s Gajapati district, an officer said.

The peon, however, asserted that he had taken the water from a purifier machine, kept the bottle in the engineer’s room and had no idea what happened thereafter.

The police action came around a week after the incident that took place at the office of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) Department at Parlakhemundi.
