The Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta has opened a probe into a former employee leader of RDUVV after discovering that the institution’s expenditures exceeded its income by 86%, exposing the official as a multi‑millionaire.
The Lokayukta of Madhya Pradesh has initiated formal proceedings against a former employee leader of Radhavividhyapeeth University (RDUVV) in Jabalpur. An audit revealed that the university's expenditures were 86% higher than its reported income, prompting anti‑corruption officials to intervene.
Investigators said the financial mismatch points to possible misappropriation of funds, and the probe has uncovered that the former leader possesses assets worth several crores, classifying him as a multi‑millionaire. The Lokayukta's office has issued a notice demanding a detailed account of the university's spending and the source of the official's wealth.
RDUVV, a state‑run educational institution, has not commented publicly on the allegations. The Lokayukta has pledged to pursue the case rigorously, emphasizing its commitment to curbing corruption in public institutions.
The development adds to a series of recent anti‑corruption drives in the state, where officials are being scrutinized for financial irregularities. The outcome of the investigation could lead to legal action and possible recovery of misused funds.
