The Punjagutta police arrested V. Sridhar, financial controller of NIMS along with an attender Ravi Kumar for alleged theft of a file from the hospital records.
The police said that Sridhar was placed under suspension in May for alleged dereliction of duty. As an internal investigation was on, Sridhar took the help of an outsourced staff, Ravi Kumar, at the hospital to steal his personal service file.
A committee was constituted to enquire Sridhar’s role. “The committee submitted its report recently and the file was in the custody of HR Department.
The personal service file went missing six days ago and we immediately made oral enquiries and upon confirming that it was stolen, we lodged a complaint with the Punjagutta police. Basing on a complaint lodged by NIMS authorities, police registered a case and arrested the duo.
