During preliminary enquiry by the Anti-Corruption Unit it was found that the funds released under the Rogi Kalyan Samiti of PHC Long Island were withdrawn by Dr. Julian in his own signature rather than presenting the matter before the Governing Body of the Samiti. However the funds were withdrawn from the bank in single signature of Member Secretary (Dr. Julian, the then Medical Officer, I/c of PHC Long Island) deliberately. I
It had transpired that he misappropriated the funds allotted to Rogi Kayan Samiti from Bank account through cheque book duly signed by him bearing his seal on 16 different occasions between February 2017 and September 2017 and cheated the Administration for his personal benefits and no purchasing of articles was done in the year 2017-18.
The whole matter came to light when the funds were checked after opening the quotation for purchase of Desktop & printer under Rogi Kayan Samiti and it was found that there was only Rs. 10,000/- left in the account whereas no fund was withdrawn during the period for purchase of any items for PHC Long Island.
