Valmiki corporation scam: Two officials named in note suspended

The Hindu  

The State government has placed under suspension two officials of the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, named in the note of another official who was found dead in connection with the unauthorised transfer of over ₹90 crore. On Wednesday, the State government issued suspension orders for the corporation’s Managing Director J.J. Padmanabh and Accounts Officer Parashuram G. Durgannanavar, who have been named in the alleged scam in the note left by Accounts Superintendent Chandrashekharan P., 48, who was found dead at his residence in Shivamogga on Sunday. BJP seeks probe by Central agency Taking exception to the FIR on alleged irregularities in the Maharishi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation case not mentioning Minister B. Nagendra’s name, the BJP’s senior Dalit leader Govind M. Karjol on Wednesday demanded that the case be handed over to a Central agency for a “fair investigation”. Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Mr. Karjol wondered how the FIR could miss the name of the Minister despite the death note of corporation employee Chandrashekaran P. stating that he had transferred corporation funds to a non-official account on the “oral instructions” of the Minister.
