Chhapra: A viral video showing Chhapra’s Taraiya Circle Officer (CO) Shreya Mishra accepting a bribe has sparked significant administrative action. The video, which has been widely circulated on social media, depicts Mishra taking a bundle of 500-rupee notes, prompting immediate measures from the department.
Following the video’s circulation, the administration has issued a letter detailing disciplinary action against Mishra. According to the letter, she has been reassigned to the Revenue and Land Reforms Department at the Patna headquarters. This move is seen as an administrative response pending further investigation into the bribe allegations.
The video in question shows CO Shreya Mishra accepting a bundle of currency notes, with a visible exchange of words about the amount being handed over. While the face of the person giving the bribe is not visible, the interaction clearly involves a financial transaction related to official work.
The video was initially misattributed to Shahpur block in Bhojpur district but has since been confirmed to be from Chhapra. The incident has triggered widespread discussion within the administrative circles, with many viewing the action against Mishra as a direct consequence of the video’s exposure.
In light of the video’s impact, Shreya Mishra has reportedly taken a 10-day leave. The administrative department’s response includes not only her reassignment but also a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the bribe allegations.
