💨 Abstract

The Enforcement Directorate uncovered a financial misappropriation of approximately Rs 2.5 crore in the Odisha forest department after raids at a range office in Kalahandi district. The misappropriation involved the use of "mule accounts" by forest department officials to divert funds meant for government schemes. The agency seized various documents, ATM cards, mobile phones, and a suspected illegal tiger skin during the searches.
