Chennai: Sleuths from the directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption officials (DVAC) on Saturday carried out a surprise check at the regional transport office (RTO) in Sriperumbudur and recovered around ₹1.87 lakh, some of it strewn on the floor or dumped inside bins.
At least 12 vigilance officials led by deputy superintendent of police Balasubramanian conducted the surprise check.
Officials said the staff at the office, in an attempt to conceal the money, hurriedly dumped it in bins sensing the surprise check.
The office is located on Sriperumbudur-Tambaram Road and RTO officer Venkatesan and road transport inspector Kannan were employed at the office.
After the recovery of cash, officials questioned the RTO officer and the RI about the money.
As none of the officials claimed ownership of the cash, the police seized it and claimed it as unaccounted cash. The DVAC officials initiated a departmental action against the officials after the cash seizure.
Earlier, DVAC officials conducted similar raids at the Poonamallee and Gummidipoondi RTOs, based on the petitions received from unnamed people.
The police said they act upon people’s petitions only when people mentions their personal information, and when specific tip is received about illegal transactions.
