The Kerala High Court has dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Santhy Krishnan, a woman civil police officer (CPO) who was serving as writer at the Muvattupuzha traffic enforcement unit and was charged with irregularities to the tune of ₹20.90 lakh from 2009 to 2021.
She had then been entrusted with depositing the fine collected by the Muvattupuzha traffic police enforcement unit. According to the first information report registered by the Muvattupuzha police, she tampered with government documents, including treasury receipts, and bank receipts to embezzle government funds. She allegedly deposited less than the actual fine collected for the day and covered up her tracks by tampering with the treasury receipts and bank receipts.
