Sleuths from DVAC, Vellore, conduct search for five hours at Christianpet
In the early hours on Friday, the sleuths from the Vellore unit of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) seized ₹77,100 from the checkpost of Regional Transport Office (RTO) at Christianpet near Katpadi in Vellore. The search lasted for five hours between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Friday.
Friday's surprise check comes after similar searches were carried out by the DVAC in which they seized unaccounted cash from the Sub-Registrar office in Velapadi in Vellore on Thursday. The same two teams, comprising four officials in each team, that was led by DVAC inspector Vijayalakshmi and Vijay, conducted the surprise check in the early hours on Friday at the checkpost.
“Such surprise checks do happen on a regular basis. Before going for such checks, we ensure that we verify our alerts with multiple sources,” said a DVAC official.
