Tainted IFS officer Abhay Kant Pathak, son Akash get bail PNN Bhubaneswar: The Special Vigilance Court here Wednesday granted bail to IFS officer Abhay Kant Pathak and his son Akash. They were arrested in disproportionate assets (DA) case in November last year. The investigating agency could not file a chargesheet even after 60 days of the arrest, an official said. So both Abhay Kant Pathak and Akash got bail. A 1987 batch IFS officer, Abhay served as the Additional PCCF (plan, programme and afforestation) and was all set to become the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) this June. However, the Vigilance sleuths raided his residence and other premises November 26, 2020 and arrested him for accumulating assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
