Odisha Bureaucrat Accidentally Drinks Urine After Peon Hands It Over Instead of Water

In a shocking incident, a peon working at the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) Department in Odisha's Gajapati handed a bottle of uring to his senior officials after the latter asked for the drinking water.

The accused, identified as Siba Narayan Nayak, was arrested after a formal complaint was filed against him. The senior official, Sachin Gouda, who is the Assistant Executive Engineer with the RWSS, filed the complaint with the R Udayagiri police after the incident took place on the night of July 23.

In his complaint, Gouda said that he had asked Nayak for a bottle of drinking water. However, Nayak gave him a bottle that was filled with urine. As the light was low during the nighttime, Gouda, under work-related stress, unknowingly drank from the bottle.

Shortly thereafter, Gouda started feeling unwell and realised it was urine that he drank. After his health further deteriorated, he was admitted to MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur for treatment.

The bottle sample was then sent to a laboratory, where tests revealed that the ammonia concentration was higher than what is generally found in drinking water, indicating contamination.
