POSTMASTERS
BEWARE OF DATA ENTRY MODULE
CBI case against Srikakulam ex-postal employee
A fraud case has
been registered against a former postal assistant of the Tekkali Head Post
Office, in Srikakulam Postal Division, by the Visakhapatnam Branch of the CBI.
The accused K. Panduranga
Rao, while working as postal assistant/assistant post master/post master at the
Tekkali HPO between June 12, 2009, and October 19, 2011, had committed
financial irregularities to the tune of Rs.25,54,000 in 11 savings bank
accounts, according to a statement issued by CBI Deputy Inspector-General G.
Nageswara Rao on Thursday.
It was alleged that Panduranga Rao used to
fraudulently delete the original savings bank accounts withdrawal entries from
the ‘Sanchay Post Module’ data saved in the computer system and increase the
balance amounts lying in the accounts of the depositors. He
subsequently used to fraudulently withdraw the increased amounts from the
respective savings bank accounts by forging the signatures of the depositors on
the withdrawal savings bank-7 vouchers.
Thus, he caused a wrongful loss of
Rs.25,54,000 to the Postal Department by tampering/ manipulating the computer
data pertaining to 11 savings bank accounts and caused wrongful gain to himself
by abusing his official position. The CBI also searched the house of Panduranga
Rao, who is now under suspension, Mr. Nageswara Rao said.
