Microfinance scam probe: HC orders appearance of SIT head
Judge expresses grave dissatisfaction over report on progress of investigation
The Kerala High Court has ordered S. Sasidharan, the lead investigator in the SIT probing the alleged SNDP microfinance scam, to appear before the court on August 14. This demand came after Justice A. Badharudeen voiced strong dissatisfaction with the report on the investigation's progress. The SIT head submitted a report indicating that 17 out of 124 cases under investigation have final reports filed, while 30 cases were deemed to have no irregularities.
Despite requesting an extension of one month, the SIT had assured the court that the probe would be concluded by August 10. The investigation is focused on the alleged microfinance scam worth ₹15.85 crore, allegedly involving Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam general secretary Vellapally Natesan.
