Jugal Kishore Mishra was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison and a Rs 5,000 fine by the Special Vigilance Court in Balangir.
In the event that the fee is not paid, he will be imprisoned for three months extra, according to a Vigilance release on Thursday.

The Court further sentenced him to one year of severe imprisonment and a fine of Rs 3,000 for the offense under Section 7 of the PC Act, 1988.
