The State government has been accused of hushing up corruption in the purchase of equipment at the Virus Research and Diagnostic Laboratory at the Government Medical College, Kozhikode.
Revolutionary Marxist Party of India (RMPI) State secretary N. Venu told the media on Tuesday that though the Kozhikode unit of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau had recommended a detailed investigation into the affair after a preliminary probe, the State office did not approve of the proposal. He claimed that the Accountant General’s office too had recorded objections to certain activities at the lab in their report.
