**Tamil Nadu Doctor Suspended on Retirement Day Over Corruption Allegations**
**Chennai, India** – A doctor in Tamil Nadu was suspended on the very day she was scheduled to retire, following allegations of corruption during her previous tenure at a government hospital in Tenkasi district. Dr. Sripadmavathi, who was set to retire on May 31, 2025, was suspended by the Tamil Nadu Health Department due to discrepancies discovered in the purchase of greens for patient meals.
An investigation was launched following complaints that Dr. Sripadmavathi had engaged in corrupt practices related to the purchase of greens intended for patient meals. The investigation revealed that each bunch of greens costing ₹25 had been recorded as purchased for ₹80.
Dr. Sripadmavathi had recently been transferred to the Thoothukudi Government Hospital as an administrative officer. Upon approaching her retirement, Thoothukudi hospital officials requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from her previous employer in Tenkasi. Dr. Sripadmavathi allegedly submitted a fake NOC.
The Thoothukudi medical authorities, suspecting the authenticity of the certificate, contacted the Tenkasi hospital, who confirmed that the document was indeed forged. Following the revelation, Thoothukudi officials reported this to senior officials of the Health Department recommending immediate action. The Health Department promptly issued suspension orders on Saturday. The timing of the suspension, coinciding with her retirement date, has sparked considerable local discussion.
