Jail official arrested for Rs 3.44 lakh scam
Supervisor of handloom department of Vadodara Central Jail was arrested on Saturday for conspiring to siphon off cotton produce worth
Rs 3.44 lakh.
According to police, accused Jagdish Rajpura, resident of Yoginagar Society in Chhani area, allegedly hoarded the cotton supply weighing 1,210 kg. The scam was busted after jail superintendent noticed discrepancies in the original and duplicate credit slips used for availing the cotton supply from National Handloom Development Corporation in Coimbatore.
Rajpura was arrested on the complaint of Punja Solanki, the jail factory manager. Solanki alleged that after the cotton supply arrived in the jail on Saturday, two credit slips were made for auditing. When both original and duplicate slips were sent to the superintendent for signature, 1,980 kg cotton was found missing. The further inquiry led to the expose.
"We've sought Rajpura's two-day remand to find out whether more officials are involved in this scam and the number of times they indulged in this malpractice in the past," said an official from Raopura police station.
