The Times of India says Odisha terminated probationary sub-registrar Manisha Mishra on Tuesday after an alleged Rs 7,000 bribe. PTI says she was arrested on November 7.

Tuesday's order ends a probationary appointment. It does not decide the corruption allegation. The 12:43 IST Times of India story and the 18:40 IST story do not print the same words from Suresh Pujari, and only the later one prints an age. Arrested on November 7 is PTI. Caught on November 6 is the date the Times of India and PTI print for the alleged payment. A demand of Rs 10,000, then Rs 7,000, is the New Indian Express. The Times of India prints Rs 7,000 and does not print the Rs 10,000 demand.

The Times of India, by Debabrata Mohapatra of TNN, November 10, 2026, at 12:43 IST, reported the Odisha government on Tuesday terminated the services of probationary Odisha Revenue Service officer Manisha Mishra, days after her arrest by the Odisha Vigilance directorate for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 7,000. It reported an order issued by the revenue and disaster management department says Mishra, a 2022-batch ORS officer serving as sub-registrar at Baliapal in Balasore district, was caught by vigilance officials on November 6 while allegedly receiving the bribe from a complainant. It reported the money was allegedly demanded to facilitate the registration of land and issuance of a sale deed. It quoted Revenue Minister Suresh Pujari, "Our govt continues to adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption." It reported Additional Chief Secretary of the revenue department Arabinda Kumar Padhee said Mishra, who joined government service as a trainee reserve officer in December 2024 and was appointed sub-registrar at Baliapal in December 2025, had not completed her two-year probation period. It reported the termination order held that her alleged actions amounted to "gross misconduct," "personal immorality," and a direct violation of the Odisha Government Servants' Conduct Rules, 1959, and that her continuation in service would be "highly detrimental to public interest." That story does not print an age. The Times of India, by Debabrata Mohapatra, November 10, 2026, at 18:40 IST, reported the state government on Tuesday terminated the service of probationary ORS officer Manisha Mishra, 28, days after her arrest for allegedly accepting an Rs 7,000 bribe. Age 28 is that story. It is not on the 12:43 IST story. It reported a 2022-batch officer posted as sub-registrar at Baliapal in Balasore district was allegedly caught red-handed by vigilance officials on November 6 while accepting the bribe from a complainant for facilitating his land registration, and that she is currently lodged in judicial custody. Red-handed, and judicial custody, are the 18:40 IST story. The 12:43 IST story says caught and does not print red-handed or judicial custody. It reported Pujari said the action reflects the government's zero-tolerance policy, and it quotes him, "Corruption has cost this young ORS probationer her job." That quotation is not on the 12:43 IST page. The zero-tolerance sentence quoted at 12:43 IST is not on the 18:40 IST page. It reported Padhee said she joined as a trainee reserve officer in December 2024, was posted as sub-registrar at Baliapal in December 2025, and, "Since she was still undergoing the mandatory two-year probation period, the department initiated immediate and stringent action following her arrest." It reported the order described the allegations as "gross misconduct" and a serious violation of the Odisha government servants' conduct rules, 1959, and that continuation in service would be against public interest. Personal immorality, and highly detrimental to public interest, are the 12:43 IST order language. Against public interest, without highly detrimental, is the 18:40 IST paraphrase. The 18:40 IST story also prints an open letter from Padhee to revenue colleagues and a social-media debate about the reinstatement of 2021-batch IAS officer Dhiman Chakma, who it says was arrested in June 2025 for allegedly accepting a Rs 10 lakh bribe while Dharamgarh sub-collector in Kalahandi district. That letter and that debate are not on the 12:43 IST page.

PTI, on ThePrint, November 10, 2026, at 12:46 pm IST, datelined Bhubaneswar, reported the Odisha government on Tuesday terminated the services of a probationary Odisha Revenue Service officer who was arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 7,000, according to an official order. It reported Manisha Mishra, sub-registrar at Baliapal in Balasore district, was arrested on November 7, a day after Vigilance Department sleuths allegedly caught her accepting illegal gratification from a complainant at her office. Arrested on November 7 is PTI. The Times of India stories say days after her arrest and do not print November 7. It reported the Revenue and Disaster Management Department issued the order after examining a report from the General Administration (Vigilance) Department and considering the gravity of the charges. It quoted the order, "the department is satisfied that her further continuance in service is highly detrimental to public interest." Further continuance, in that PTI quotation, and continuation in service, in the Times of India's 12:43 IST paraphrase, are not the same words. It reported she joined government service in 2024 and was undergoing probation at the time of her arrest, and that the order described the alleged acceptance of illegal gratification as a grave instance of corruption, amounting to gross misconduct and a violation of the Odisha Government Servants' Conduct Rules, 1959. Joined government service in 2024, on PTI, and joined as a trainee reserve officer in December 2024, on the Times of India, are not the same sentence. A 2022-batch officer is the Times of India. PTI does not print 2022. Grave instance of corruption is PTI. Personal immorality is the 12:43 IST Times of India story. PTI does not print Pujari, Padhee, an age, red-handed, or judicial custody. The New Indian Express, by Express News Service, updated November 7, 2026, at 4:07 am, datelined Balasore, reported an ORS officer posted on probation as sub-registrar of Baliapal block was caught red-handed by Vigilance officials while allegedly taking an Rs 7,000 bribe from a land purchaser to facilitate registration of a sale deed on Friday. Friday, on a story dated November 7, is the day before that date. The page does not print November 6. It reported the accused officer is Manisha Mishra. It reported the complainant had sought registration of a sale deed for a plot of 0.14 acre recorded as Bajyapti Sthitiban, and that under Revenue and Disaster Management Department guidelines such land is to be treated as Sthitiban and is eligible for registration. It reported that despite repeated requests she allegedly refused and demanded Rs 10,000, then agreed to register the deed for Rs 7,000. A demand of Rs 10,000, the 0.14 acre, and Bajyapti Sthitiban are the New Indian Express. They are not on the Times of India pages or the PTI page fetched here. It reported the complainant approached Vigilance officials of the Balasore circle, that a case was registered under section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018, that a trap was laid, and that the entire bribe money was recovered from her possession. Section 7 is the New Indian Express. It is not on the Times of India pages or the PTI page. One sentence on that page says sub-register. Another spells the office search as Misrha's office and quarters, from a disproportionate-assets angle. Sub-register, and Misrha, are the spellings on that page. Sub-registrar, and Mishra, are the other spellings on that page. It reported she joined government service as an ORS officer in 2024. That November 7 story does not print a termination, an age, or December 2025. An OdishaTV story on the termination was not found. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
