Imphal, July 03 2012:
More than Rs four lakhs which belonged to an expired ASI of the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Telecom) have been misappropriated by the concerned DDO.
A reliable source informed that ASI Kh Rajen expired on April 13 this year.
A notification about Rajen's expiry was issued by the DIGP (Telecom) on April 17 .
As per the rules, after the death of an employee, one of the family members should open a bank account and all the arrears and other entitlements of the deceased employee should be transferred to the new bank account.
However, Rs 4,23,175 which belonged to Rajen was transferred to the DDO's account and the same amount was drawn in two phases.
Though the source refused to explain whether the amount was GPF, arrear or allowances, it has been established that the DDO drew Rs 39206 from SBI Secretariat Branch on May 2 followed by another Rs 383969 on May 8 .
On the other hand, there is a standing order of the Government which prohibits withdrawal of any money from the accounts of employees excepting their monthly salaries.
The source further informed that the amount withdrawn by the DDO has not been handed over to the family of late Rajen till date.
