Long THREAD :

Sources : A litigant named Dr. M. Geethanjali, approached the Madras HC, to redress her grievance wherein, she was denied an MD Opthalmology seat in PSG medical college whereas a candidate who got lesser rank than her was given the same seat. 1/n

The petitioner also alleged that while the initial fee fixed by government at the time of admission was Rs.3 lakhs, PSG college demanded 35 lakhs.

Justice Anand Venkatesh of Madras HC in an elaborate and detailed order, 2/n

went in-depth into the issue and found that, private medical colleges are making a killing in PG medical admissions using the pandemic. 3/n

The Court observed, _“The governments are grappling with the situation and the normal functioning of the society virtually came to a standstill and slowly attempts are being made to restore essential functions with sufficient safeguards. 4/n

Unfortunately, attempts are also being made to take advantage of this situation to justify certain actions. There is an attempt to put every blame on the Corona Virus even where it did not have a direct nexus to the action performed by an institution or any 5/n

instrumentality of the State. There cannot be a greater sin than to make use of the present situation and gain advantage for one’s own self-aggrandizement. Again, this prelude has a lot of significance in the present case since an apparently 6/n

questionable action is sought to be justified by taking advantage of the pandemic.”_
Finding serious infirmities in the admission process, Hon’ble Justice Anand Venkatesh, directed a CB CID probe into the happenings during this year’s medical admission. 7/n

Court also ordered that, the investigation should be done by an officer not below the rank of a DSP.
CB CID Pradheep Phillip, for reasons that are not clear, chose a DSP named Gunavarman who was caught into allegations of IPL 8/n

betting when he was Inspector as the Investigating Officer for this case.
The CB CID probe is on. As part of the probe, one Dr. G. Selvarajan, MS, DLO, Secretary / Addl Director of Medical Education Selection Committee 9/n

was called by the CB. CID for being examined as a witness.
He was examined by one Maheswari, an Addl SP in CB CID. The said Selvarajan played ‘dalit card’. Addl SP Maheswari, was firm and said, the probe is nothing to do with caste. 10/n

After Dr Selvarajan left CB CID premises, there was a call from CM Secretary II Dr.S.Vijayakumar, IAS, a direct IAS officer of 1993 batch. He directed Addl SP Maheswari to meet him and she did meet him confirm sources. What transpired in the meeting is not clear. 11/n

Apart from this, Vijayakumar IAS called CB CID IG Shankar and instructed him that Dr Selvarajan, should not be made an accused in this case.
Highly placed sources say, the said Vijayakumar IAS, as Secretary II to CM does all the dirty works of EPS. 12/n

In fact he has been misguiding EPS which may lead to EPS’s arrest. He is not an IAS officer but a fixer and a tout say a senior IAS officer.

The said Vijayakumar is a dalit and using this dalit card, he has formed a closed group of Dalits among 13/n

IAS & IPS officers of TN cadre. Dalit officers, fearing his close proximity with Edappadi Palanisamy are falling prey to this Vijayakumar and carrying out his illegal instructions. The dalit officers’ proximity and nexus with Vijayakumar IAS 14/n

is at their own peril, as the said Vijayakumar will not sign in any files but will issue illegal oral instructions carefully over WhatsApp call.
Long back, Junior Vikatan, published a cover story, describing a power broker, “Delhi Murali” 15/n

as the next Governor of Tamil Nadu. The story also said, the said Delhi Murali was offered a cabinet post both by Sonia Gandhi and Modi. The story was a clear plant by Vijayakumar IAS and Junior Vikatan’s News Editor R.Balakrishnan, 16/n

who is working there for more than 25 years received a huge amount to do this cover story.
This façade was exposed by us, following which, Junior Vikatan, did a balancing story against this Delhi Murali. 17/n

Sources further add, the said Dr. Vijayakumar is poking his nose in every issue where there is money involved and he is the main reason for the bad reputation of TN CM Edappadi Palanisamy. 18/n

With problems mounting multifold for Edappadi Palanisamy, it is time, he shunts out this ‘Dalit Champion’ Dr Vijayakumar IAS (TN 1993) out of his office. 19/19
