Prof. Victor Raja Manikam was the Head of the Department to Department of Earth Science at Thanjavur Tamil University. His brother Dr.Samathanam is working in Ministry of Science and Technology as a Scientist. They are swindling money in a Huge way. His brother Dr.Samathanam is helping for this crime.  He allotted lot of funds to his brother through various projects. All the funds were misappropriated by Victor Raja Manikam. The fund is not spend for its real work of the project. He submitted false vouchers to take the money.  The University Vice Chancellor or the finance officer or the Registrar of Thanjavur Tamil University did not check the expenditure. Even after his retirement also, he joined with any one of the Institution and swindling money. He is the expert person, who knows the tactics of swindling money from the Government.

 

As per the details obtained from Thanjavur Tamil University, Victor Raja Manikam got Rs. 67,55,184 from the Thanjavur University in Various projects. Copy of the letter enclosed herewith. Meantime, Ministry of Science and Technology in their letter dated 14.8.14 and 29.8.14 replied that only 7.9  lakhs and Rs.28,66,374 alone sanctioned to Victor Raja Manikam while he was working in Tanjavur Tamil University.

 

This alone will establish that after the fund is transferred and taken by Victor Raja Manikam, his brother Dr.Samathanam destroy the relevant files from Ministry of Science. Like that when Victor Rajamanikam joined Shastra University he again get lots of money from Ministry of Science and Technology in various projects names which is given below.

When the expenditure details and the project report details were called for from the University, the University financial officer replied that no such documents are available in the University. Moreover they have further replied that for this funds Victor Raja Manikam submit vouchers only Auto Charge and Xerox Charges except some vouchers. This will also establish that all the funds are misappropriated by one Mr.Victor Raja Manikam. Thus Victor Raja Manikam and Dr.Samathanam of Ministry of Science and Technology swindled Govt., money for tune of more than 5 Crore rupees.

 

I therefore request you sir suitable criminal as well as departmental action may kindly be initiated by the authorities against the erring officers under the Relevant Act and Rules.

 

For your kind information, I am enclosing herewith the details obtained from Thanjavur Tamil University and the Details obtained from Ministry of Science and Technology. If you call for the project details and vouchers for the projects, it will establish the offence made by the both officers.
