Telangana: Headmaster suspended for R&R package fraud

HYDERABAD: A headmaster of a zilla parishad high school was suspended in Siddipet district for resorting to deception to avail a better rehabilitation and resettlement package for villages affected under the Kaleshwaram irrigation project.

Belde Srinivasa Rao, headmaster of ZPHS, Ensanpally, was charged with impersonation of his son in a family photograph to obtain the R&R package. The youth shown in the photograph was not his son, officials found out.

District collector P Venkatrama Reddy, who initiated the disciplinary proceedings against the headmaster after an enquiry by the RDO, said Srinivasa Rao resorted to an intentional mischief. “The headmaster will be placed under suspension until the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings against him,” he said.

According to official sources, Srinivasa Rao had applied to avail the R&R package given to outstees of the Komaravelli Mallannasagar project. His son was said to be living abroad for the last eight years. However, in order to avail a better rehabilitation compensation, he got another person who was not his son to be included in his family photograph to avail the package. This was confirmed in the enquiry report submitted by the RDO.
