GHMC Busts Synthetic Fingerprint Scam, Contractors Detained for Crore Rupee Loss
Two sanitary contractors, Umesh and Srikanth, were arrested by the Task Force (Central) team and the GHMC’s Enforcement Vigilance and Disaster Management wing for allegedly using synthetic fingerprints to mark the attendance of 15 to 20 sanitary workers in GHMC Circle-16 and Circle-14.
The scam is estimated to have caused a loss of crores of rupees to the GHMC in the last year. The officials suspect that similar malpractice is prevalent in other circles of the GHMC as well and are making efforts to identify and arrest those involved.
