Former Odisha Police IIC Rajesh Baliarsingh Surrenders in Ganja Smuggling Case

Rajesh Baliarsingh, the former Inspector-in-Charge of Astarang police station in Puri district, surrendered on Monday before the District and Sessions Judge Court in Jeypore, Koraput district, after being absconding for nearly six months. Baliarsingh was accused of aiding Ganja (cannabis) smugglers and allegedly allowing them to use his official vehicle during his tenure.

Previously detained in Bhubaneswar during an NDPS investigation, he escaped custody in August 2025. His surrender follows a bail plea filed in the Orissa High Court, which ordered him to appear before the Jeypore Court, post a bond of Rs 50,000 with one surety, and comply with several conditions including attending all hearings, cooperating with the Investigating Officer, and avoiding contact with witnesses or co-accused.

The development marks a key moment in the ongoing probe into alleged police involvement in cannabis trafficking networks in Koraput, Jeypore, and Rayagada. The court granted bail likely due to gaps in the investigation or insufficient documentary evidence.
