The officials have been charged with creating fake bills to the tune of ₹88.88 lakh
Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) officials have booked six persons, including former the City Health Officer (CHO) and the Assistant City Health Officer of Madurai Corporation on charges of swindling ₹88.88 lakh, using fake bills under the guise of having procured larvicide for mosquito control.
Acting on a tip-off, the DVAC sleuths conducted an enquiry into the allegation that fake and fabricated bill invoices/tax invoices had been used on 17 occasions between June 4, 2012 and July 17, 2018 in the guise of having procured 13,950 litres of larvicide. However, the enquiry revealed that no material was supplied and Heranba Industries Limited, which was the supplier as per the bills, had denied having made any supply to Madurai Corporation.
