Thiruvananthapuram: A local vigilance court ordered that two retired state health officials, who were sentenced to five-year jail term for involvement in corruption, be sent to jail after getting a report on their medical condition.
The court directive comes following the submission of a report on the health condition of the convicts by a special medical team.
The Vigilance Department found that misappropriation of Rs 1.49 crore took place in 2002 when V.K. Rajan was the Director of Health Services and K. Shylaja was the District Medical Officer.
