The department has initiated an investigation against Prashanthan.
Additional Chief Secretary Rajan Khobragade and Medical Education Joint Director Dr K V Vishwanath will visit the MCH as part of the investigation on Tuesday. The probe will check if Prashanthan violated service rules by applying for a fuel outlet while being employed at the MCH.
