Suspended IAS officer moves SC/ST panel for protection
PTI
Chennai, Jul 26 (PTI) Alleging "harassment" by Tamil Nadu Government,
suspended IAS officer C Umashankar has approached the National
Commission for SC/ST seeking protection. The 1990 batch officer, in a
letter, has requested the commission to ensure that any inquiry
regarding his caste certificate was conducted by the Central Vigilance
Commission or CBI or any other Central agency. The state government
had on July 21 suspended Umashankar, who was Director of Small
Savings, on the charge of submitting a fake community certificate to
claim SC quota during his selection for civil services. Umashankar
said the community certificate submitted by him to the UPSC was duly
verified. "The government has not taken any action against corrupt
bureaucrats and is targeting me because I have been honest and
sincere," he claimed. Umashankar requested the Commission to take
action to allow him to work under the Central Government or any of its
agencies. He also sought proper security for him and his family
members by Central security forces. As the Chairman of the Arasu Cable
TV Corporation, set up by the state government in 2008 to run cable TV
business, Umashankar had recommended nationlisation of Maran brothers-
owned Sumangali Cable Vision, alleging that the company was sabotaging
ACTV. He is facing charges of accumulation of disproportionate wealth.
But on a petition by him, the Madras High Court has last month stayed
the probe by Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption.
