Udupi: A case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station against two outsourced staff members of the Senior Sub-Registrar’s Office in Udupi for alleged irregularities in handling official files.

According to Deccan Herald, the complaint was filed by V.S. Halamoorthi Rao, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Lokayukta, Udupi, following a surprise inspection conducted on February 27 by the Upa Lokayukta at the Taluk Office complex in Bannanje.

During the inspection of the Senior Sub-Registrar’s office, it was found that Sukesh, an outsourced staff member, had kept eight files related to property and marriage registrations in his personal bag. Another outsourced worker, Sunil, was found in possession of 35 such files in his personal bag.

In total, 43 files reportedly received from the public had not been entered in the official inward register and were kept in their personal custody without authorisation.

The complaint alleges that the two staff members committed criminal misconduct, misused legal provisions, and behaved like government officials while dealing with members of the public visiting the office.

The complaint further stated that despite these alleged acts, the Sub-Registrar, Girish, failed to take note of the irregularities, and prima facie it appears that the actions of the outsourced staff may have been carried out with his support.

Based on the complaint, a case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station under Sections 316(4), 337, 340, 344, and 204 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
