Tamil Nadu cadre IAS officer C Umashankar, was in the recent past suspended by the State Government on charges of producing false caste certificates. Umashankar has approached the National Commission for Scheduled Castes for justice through a detailed report. The report has opened a Pandora’s box, quite literally, as far as corruption in a Tamil Nadu State PSU, Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) is concerned.
