The directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption on Monday registered a case against a former office assistant of health minister C Vijayabaskar five years after it was revealed that he cheated a man, promising him a job at the TNEB.
A case was registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act against V Chandrasekaran, who is at present employed at the agriculture department. Complainant G Senthil Kumar said Chnadrasekaran had collected ₹13 lakh from him, promising to get him a job as an assistant engineer in the TNEB.
Chandrasekaran used his association with Vijayabaskar, under whom he was working in 2013, to influence the complainant. The accused claimed that he had spoken to the then personal assistant of the electricity minister about the job, adding that he had given the money to the official for the same.
As Kumar never landed the job, his father Gunasekaran told him to retrieve the money. Only after a complaint was lodged at Selaiyur police station, Chandrasekharan returned ₹5 lakh. When inquired, the EB minister’s then PA said he had never seen Chandrasekaran let alone spoken to him. During inquiry, the accused admitted to the crime.
