DVAC officials raid Anna Centenary Library in Chennai
The raid follows a complaint by School Education Minister Rajmohan regarding book procurement documents in top libraries.
Officials from the Department of Vigilance and Anti-corruption (DVAC) conducted a raid at the Anna Centenary Library in Kotturpuram, according to the Deccan Chronicle.
The action was taken after State Minister for School Education Rajmohan filed a complaint requesting an investigation into documents concerning book procurement across all top libraries.
The Minister requested the DVAC to investigate following allegations of irregularities in book purchases for the recently opened Anna Arivulagam (Anna Knowledge World) library in Coimbatore.
A team led by DSP Kandasamy carried out the raid at the Chennai facility.
The officials verified documents related to how books were bought during the previous DMK government's term and seized some records for close scrutiny.
