Imphal, January 22 2015:
After remaining elusive for months, former Director of RIMS Dr Sinam Sekherjit Singh, against whom CBI has registered a case in connection with corruption charges and financial mishandling, has reportedly applied to the current Director Prof Arunkumar for rejoining duty.
The development has come in the wake of an order issued by RIMS authority on January 21 seeking explanation for not taking up disciplinary action as Dr Sekharjit has not joined duty since August 25 last year.
It may be noted here that following complaint of corruption in appointment and financial mismanagement in purchase of dental chairs, Dr Sekharjit was removed from the post of Director of RIMS and appointed Prof Arunkumar in his place by an order of the Deputy Secretary of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (North East Section), Government of India on August 25, 2014 .
Consequently, CBI had also raided the office of Dr Sekharjit.
