Sekar, joined TNEB as a helper and is now working as a line inspector in Kancheepuram. The DVAC alleged that it was not possible for the couple to construct two luxury houses from their salaries since they had to pay the monthly loan installment and bear education expenses of their children. .
The available information makes out prima facie case against the couple as they were in possession of the pecuniary resources and properties to the tune of ₹73.94 lakh during the check period between 2027 and 2021. It is disproportionate to known sources of their income and thereby committed offences of criminal misconduct by intentionally enriching themselves illegally.
