GUNTUR: Funds amounting to around Rs 15 lakh meant for development have reportedly been misused at Area Government Hospital at Bapatla in Guntur district.
AGH superintendent Dr Ashirwadam and clerk Challa Subramanyam are accused of diverting funds meant for developmental works. Preliminary inquiry found that superintendent Dr Ashirwadam had allegedly diverted the funds.
After the inquiry, officials ordered handover of charge of superintendent post to Dr Rasool. Officials suspect that superintendent Dr Aswirwadam had diverted hospital funds to other accounts with the help of staffers.

Superintendent Dr Rasool has lodged a complaint with Bapatla Urban police station for further inquiry. “Clerk Subramanyam has admitted to misuse funds in connivance with the superintendent,” he added.
