raid

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: There was a vigilance raid at Kattaikonam Government Model UP School. The lightning raid was conducted following complaints against headmaster Nahas. The audits earlier had found financial irregularities in children's mid-day meals and grants for backward classes. It was also alleged that Nahas with the help of teachers’ organization had appointed his wife Sheeja as Kaniyapuram AEO.


The complaint said the AEO illegally prepared a liability exemption letter and submitted to the Kazhakoottam treasury in order to make husband's pension possible while the liabilities remained before the audit report was issued. Later, a departmental inquiry found that there is truth in the complaint and Sheeja was transferred to Pathanamthitta.


It was ordered that the government incurred a financial liability due to the preparation of a non-liability paper by forging a fake document in order to get pension for her husband and that it should be levied from Sheeja's salary. A vigilance raid was conducted after this.
