Early Times Report
kishtwar, Dec 14: Ten days after the Early Times published a news regarding fraudulent withdrawal of Rs. 1.50 lacs from the account of Upper Primary School (UPS) Cheera and after 47 days since the Headmaster of the School informed the matter to CEO Doda, who sought a detailed report from ZEO Thatri claiming that media (Early Times) has highlighted this issue time and again.
As per the details available with "Early Times" Chief Education Officer Doda has once again tried to shield the corrupt practices in education Zone Thathri by hushing up the matter pertaining to the stolen money of Rs 1.50 lac to save his blue eyed officials.
According to the letter written by the Headmaster UPS Cheera (available with Early Times) that on 22 October 2018, the Headmater UPS Cheera informed the ZEO Thatri vide his letter No UPS/C/472 Dated 22-10-2018 that Rs 1.50 lac have been stolen and transferred fraudulently from the account number of the school 0280040100004847 J&K Bank branch Thatri into the account No 0280040100007056 of labour supplier identified as Mohammad Ashraf, but instead of taking any action, ZEO Thathri informed Chief Education officer Doda vide letter No ZEO/T/3999-4001 Dated 27-10-2018 raising the finger at the involvement of a blue eyed official of the chief Education officer may be involved & the officer tried to hush up the matter.
The latter suggested that when the headmaster of the school observed that the matter is being hushed up he went to the Office of the CEO Doda and again complained there vide his letter No UPS/C/431 Dated 16-11-2018 in which the officer clearly stated that the embezzlement was noticed by the school at the time of maintaining the cash book under SSA and accordingly the bank statements were obtained and it was found that the said amount stands withdrawn fraudulently in the account of Labour supplier as the work is yet to be executed.
Even though the Headmaster of UPS Cheera clearly point out the embezzlement, Chief Education officer Doda again tried to clandestine this matter and didn't lodge an FIR under section 420 against the culprits.
It is pertinent to mention that the money was transferred fraudulently from the account No. of UPS Cheera by the same invoice twice by tampering the official invoice copy's date 15-9-2017 into 15 -13-2017 and invoice number 378 into 878. The office copy of the invoice No. 378 was signed by the then ZEO Thathri Ram Rakha and when he (Ram Rakha) got transferred and the drawing and disbursing power was given to principal GHSS Thathri on 13-12-2017, the culprits took the office copy of the invoice bearing No. 378 dated 15-9-2017, tempered the Number and dated, put another stamp of the ZEO, counter signed it and draw the money without the information of the headmaster who only came to know when he was updating SSA account from the bank statement. |
