THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Bevco has demanded an inquiry against Saritha S Nair in a case of embezzling lakhs by promising a job in the Beverages Corporation. In this regard, Bevco MD G Sparjan Kumar has submitted a letter to the state government.

The MD had written to the Excise Department through the Excise Commissioner seeking an inquiry into those who had issued fake appointment orders in the name of the corporation and committed financial fraud.

Although a case was registered against Saritha in the complaint, it was alleged that the Neyyattinkara police had not taken any further action in the case. The FIR was registered in the case on November 8. The other accused in the case are T Ratheesh and Shaju Paliyode.

The police had found that the fraudulent money was deposited in Saritha's account in the Mahendragiri Bank account in Tirunelveli. It is learned that about 20 people have fallen victim to Saritha's scam.

Most of them are reportedly DYFI activists. The scam started in December 2018. Ratheesh and Shaju bought the money but as the youths didn't get a job, they created a ruckus. According to the victims, Saritha called them with the introduction that she is a secretariat official.
