Demands for Accountability Mount Following Suicide of Valmiki Corporation Official

The tragic suicide of P. Chandrashekaran, an accounts superintendent at Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, has ignited calls for justice and accountability from opposition parties and the deceased’s family. Chandrashekaran’s death note, implicating corporation officials and a bank manager in an ₹88 crore scam, has prompted demands for the resignation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra and the arrest of those named.

While the State Government has initiated a CID inquiry and filed a FIR against the Union Bank of India, Chandrashekaran’s wife, Kavitha, seeks justice for her husband’s untimely demise, alleging workplace pressure as the cause. The Minister acknowledges the scam and pledges action against the culprits, as officials investigate the unauthorized transactions and return recovered funds to the corporation. With political tensions rising and family members grieving, Chandrashekaran’s tragic death underscores the urgent need for transparency and accountability in governance.
