Cut in pay for three transport employees for graft

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD Jan. 26. The State Government has punished three assistant motor vehicle inspectors, who earlier worked at Wankidi transport check-post in Adilabad district, with a reduction in their pay by two levels for two years as corruption charges against them were proved.

During a surprise check at the check-post on April 19, 1996, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) sleuths found the AMVIs -- J. Bhaskar, J. Uma Maheswara Rao and L. Ramachander -- collecting `mamool' from drivers passing through the check-post, according to a press release.

The subsequent departmental inquiry found them guilty of the charges. Presently, Bhaskar, Rao and Ramachander, are working at the office of the JTC (RTA, Hyderabad), office of the DTC (Karimnagar) and office of the DTC (Warangal) respectively.

Cut in pension

The State Government has ordered a ten per cent cut in the pension of a retired sub-inspector of police, S.M. Shahabuddin, as he was found guilty of corruption charges.

In 1984, the Anti-Corruption Bureau sleuths inquired into the allegation of misappropriation of stolen property by Shahabuddin, a press release said. Subsequently, the charges were proved in an inquiry conducted by the Tribunal for Disciplinary Proceedings.
