Mr. Ramana Kumar said that strict
monitoring was in place at all 15 check posts set up on borders of
district and also Kovur Assembly segment. So far, Rs.81.54 lakh of
unaccounted money was seized and handed over to the IT officer of the
flying squad concerned.
Mr.
Sridhar, who reviewed the latest situation, said that all steps were
taken and close monitoring was taking place in co-ordination with banks
to see if anybody had withdrawn amounts higher than Rs.10 lakh during
the by-poll. DRDA project director had been instructed to monitor and
check bank accounts of SHG groups and see if there were deposits from
sources other than the district administration. There were complaints
that some parties were directly depositing cash in SHG groups' accounts
to lure voters.
A sub-inspector of police and an ASI were suspended
while some constables were issued memos for not checking the vehicle of
Finance Minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy at the check post put up as
part of Kovur Assembly segment by-election.
SI K.
Sekhar Babu and ASI M. Chennaiah were found guilty of allowing the
Minister's vehicle to pass without any checking on Sunday. As it proved
true during enquiry, they were suspended and election code would be
strictly implemented without any partiality, said District Collector B.
Sridhar and superintendent of police B. V. Ramana Kumar.
About 150 liquor bottles and some ganja too were seized during the checking.
The
District Collector appealed to leaders and candidates of respective
parties to not make personalised comments during election and that
action would be initiated against those indulging in such remarks as per
the election code.
