Title: State Health Department Suspends Brahmapur Jail Doctor Over Inmate Phone Scandal

In a major crackdown on prison security breaches, the State Health Department has suspended Brahmapur Jail medical officer Dr. Sushant Panigrahi. The suspension follows serious allegations that the doctor provided a mobile phone to an inmate, which was subsequently used to intimidate and influence key witnesses.

BRAHMAPUR: Taking stringent action against a severe breach of prison protocols, the State Health Department has officially suspended Dr. Sushant Panigrahi, the medical officer stationed at the Brahmapur Circle Jail.

The suspension order was issued independently by the Health Department following explosive allegations regarding Dr. Panigrahi’s involvement in facilitating illegal communication for an undertrial prisoner. According to official reports, Dr. Panigrahi is accused of smuggling a mobile phone into the jail premises and handing it over to an inmate identified as Bikram Panda.

The incident escalated into a major legal and administrative concern when it was discovered that Panda allegedly used the smuggled device to contact witnesses linked to his ongoing case. Authorities report that the inmate utilized the phone to both lure and issue threats to these key witnesses, attempting to tamper with the judicial process from behind bars.

Upon receiving intelligence regarding the unauthorized mobile access and the subsequent witness intimidation, an internal inquiry was initiated, pointing toward the jail doctor's complicity. Acting on these grave allegations of professional misconduct and security violation, the State Health Department immediately issued an independent suspension order against Dr. Panigrahi, pending a full departmental inquiry.

This incident has raised serious questions regarding the security apparatus and surveillance within the Brahmapur Jail, prompting authorities to tighten monitoring systems to prevent medical and administrative staff from being compromised by inmates. Further investigations are currently underway to determine if other jail officials were involved in the racket.
