A medical officer working at a Namma Clinic in Karnataka’s Bagalkot has come under scrutiny for allegedly drawing a monthly salary of more than Rs 70,000 while pursuing a postgraduate medical course at a private medical college.
Dr Ankita Yaragal, who is the niece of Bagalkot MLA Umesh Meti, is facing an inquiry over alleged dereliction of duty and unauthorised dual engagement.
Dr Yaragal failed to appear for an inquiry conducted by Bagalkot Zilla Panchayat CEO Gajanan Bale. Following her absence, the CEO issued a notice directing her to appear for the next inquiry scheduled for September 18 at 10 am at Room No. 11 of the Zilla Panchayat office.
According to the notice, Dr Yaragal had allegedly remained absent from the Namma Clinic at Wambay Colony from March 3 until September, leaving the clinic without a medical officer and causing inconvenience to the public.
