Government employee embezzled government funds

RSD- Gambiraopet news: A person named Banothu Naresh is working as a senior accountant at the Primary Health Center in Gambiraopet Mandal Center. With the malicious intent of fraudulently embezzling money from the government treasury, he prepared monthly salary bills and leave salary bills in the name of staff nurse Manjulata from January 2015 to November 2015 and in the name of staff nurse Aruna from March 2015 to November 2015 and submitted them to the Sub-Treasury Office, Sircilla. Till then, he had withdrawn a total of Rs. 12 lakhs and had deposited the salary deduction of Rs. 1,06,194 and the remaining Rs. 11 lakhs 5514 in his SBH Bank and used them for his own use. During the investigation of the Karimnagar District Treasury Deputy Director, it was found that the said staff nurses, Manjulata and Aruna, had not worked at the Primary Health Center in Gambhiraopet Mandal Center and were working elsewhere and had their salaries and bills drawn through the relevant treasury. The Accountant General Department noticed that the salaries and GPF exemptions of the said employees were being doubled and informed our officials. During our further investigation, the fraud committed by Banoth Naresh came to light. Without any suspicion, Naresh gave the department the bills signed by his Drawing and Discharge Officer DR. Ramesh through the department’s treasury bill register. The department sanctioned the bills he submitted. However, the Sircilla Sub-Tracer staff, i.e. the senior accountant who sanctioned the relevant bills, or the STO, could not detect the fraud they were committing and sanctioned the bills. When this matter was reported to the District Collector, following the subsequent orders, legal action should be taken against the staff of the two departments who were injured, and Kandagatla Srinivas DTO Karimnagar filed a complaint at Sircilla Police Station. The then CI Vijayakumar registered a case and filed a charge sheet against the accused, Bhanothu Naresh, in the court. Court Constable Vemula Naresh, under the supervision of the court monitoring RSI Shravan, presented 6 witnesses in the court and Public Prosecutor Chelumalla Sandeep argued on behalf of the prosecution. After examining the antecedents of the case, Sircilla First Class Judge Praveen, who found the crime proven, sentenced the accused, Bhanothu Naresh, to three years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of (10,000) ten thousand rupees, Sircilla CI Krishna said.
