Pathanamthitta: Sreekanth SP, a caretaker of the Srimatha Accommodation Center at Sabarimala, has been apprehended for engaging in financial irregularities. The arrest comes after a vigilant check revealed his involvement in manipulating receipts for devotees availing rooms, resulting in extorted funds totaling Rs 21,590.
The accused, a watcher hailing from Keleswaram in the Neyyattinkara group, was caught during the vigilance check conducted yesterday. Sreekanth SP allegedly marked higher amounts in the receipts provided to pilgrims while recording lesser amounts in the duplicate register maintained by Devaswom, thus extorting money through deceptive means. In response to the incident, the accused has been suspended. Police have initiated an investigation into the financial irregularities.
