The outfit in a press release by Nonglen Meitei, Publicity secretary of the Maoist Communist Party mentions that a sum of Rs 140 crore has been embezzled under the IPM and INM by the said deputy director.
Whereas, the media team is whisked in whatever direction the official wants,, and it will not forget that media teams have been given ‘envelopes’ for coverage of the news, it was charged. The new residence of Rajendro presently under construction with investment in crores at Porompat is evident that he has been siphoning funds from developmental projects for his benefit.
