Police investigate missing files thrown as waste near Guntur West Tahsildar Office, sparking viral video and official inquiry.
The police are investigating into the alleged missing of files pertaining to a government department, which were reportedly thrown as waste material at the garbage located near the entrance gate of the Guntur West Tahsildar Office.
A video clip of the bunch of documents tied as a file and thrown as scrap, allegedly with an intention of hiding or destroying information, went viral on Saturday morning in the local social media groups.
Soon, District Collector S. Nagalakshmi and Superintendent of Police S. Satish Kumar ordered an inquiry into it.
Surprisingly, the files shown in the video clip were not found by the police or any official later.
Apart from the Guntur West Tahsildar office, there are offices of the Special Enforcement Bureau, Treasury, Pensioners’ Association, Arundalpet Police Station, Excise and Prohibition, and a prison located either on the same premises or adjacent to it.
Guntur West tahsildar G.V.S. Phanindra Babu said they lodged a police complaint and were analysing the CCTV footage. He said they had installed eight CCTV cameras in and out of the office, among which one recorded the place where the documents were allegedly thrown and then removed.
Mr. Phanindra Babu, however, said no files were missing from his office.
