Vitthal Narnaware, manager of the Suvidha Mahila Maagasvargiya Sanstha at Chhatrapati Chowk here, which had entered into a contract with the office of the ZP Education Officer (Primary) in February 1995 for supply of boiled eggs to ZP primary schools in the city, has been booked for the offence following a complaint by EO (Primary) C R Borkar.

The matter came to light during a routine audit when the authorities detected several discrepancies in the dealings of the Sanstha. The total worth of the contract, according to police sources, was Rs 13 lakh. However, the Sanstha is alleged to have claimed bills worth Rs 7,85,005 at regular intervals for supply which were never made to the primary schools under a special governmentscheme.

Although the matter is in the initial stages, much is expected to come out with the progress of the police investigation. So far, no arrests have been reported. Sub-Inspector S R Parvekar of the Sadar police is investigating into the matter.
