Thrissur:

An investigative report has brought it to the light that legendary poet Vailoppilli’s ancestral land worth crores of rupees has been swindled, fabricating a fraudulent pension committee.

The poet’s wife was tricked into believing that an old age home was to be constructed, and had her palming off land, while in fact, a motel was built up, the report said.

It has also been revealed that this motel, intentionally misconstrued as an old age home, was used in favour of the swindlers to extract lakhs of rupees as grant from the government.

The report by social rights department has held the Kerala State Service Pensioners Union’s Ollukkara block committee leadership responsible for this fraud act. Manorama News has obtained a copy of the report.

The swindling happened in 1999 when organisers of the pension committee approached Vailoppilly’s wife, Bhanumathi teacher, claiming that they were building a modern old-age home. She donated 57 cents of land for the cause. The donation that was made in the name of the mother concern was later changed to ‘Kerala State Service Pensioners Union of Ollukkara’, and Bhanumathi teacher’s request to return the property was denied.

The government is deceived as well, since the procurement of the grant is shown to be for building an old-age home. In the report shared by the district collector, it’s also suggested that the vigilance take up the case.
