The Roorkee Municipal Corporation has suspended former property tax officer Mohammad Qayyum after allegations of a ₹5.87 lakh fraud involving tax collections and fake receipts.
Qayyum is accused of taking money from several people in the name of house tax and other municipal taxes, then allegedly providing them with counterfeit receipts instead of valid payment documents. The allegations have not been established by a court.
Hospital submits complaint
Vinay Vishal Health Care Private Limited has approached the municipal commissioner with a written complaint. The healthcare company has alleged that it was also subjected to fraud in the same matter.
The complaint adds a new institutional dimension to allegations already linked to Qayyum’s handling of tax payments. The available information does not specify the amount allegedly paid by the hospital or provide details of the receipts involved.
Suspension follows municipal action
The corporation took action against Qayyum this week and suspended him. The suspension is an administrative measure and does not by itself establish criminal liability.
The allegations concern collections made from taxpayers and the alleged use of false receipts. Further details about any formal criminal case, investigation or recovery were not available in the reported information.
The complaint has been addressed to the municipal commissioner, placing the alleged hospital transaction before the corporation’s senior administrative authority. The next verified step would depend on the examination of the complaint and related payment records.
Conclusion
The matter involves allegations of ₹5.87 lakh in fraudulent tax collections, a complaint from Vinay Vishal Health Care Private Limited and the suspension of former officer Mohammad Qayyum by the Roorkee Municipal Corporation.
