Considering a petition, Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge P. Madhavan directed the Deputy Superintendent, Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, Idukky, to probe the allegation and file a report by January 31.
According to the petitioner, the three officers with the woman cell at the station misappropriated a fund allotted by the State government in 2014-15 by forging travel bills. Woman Sub-Inspector Sainaba, civil police officers K.H. Nisamol and P. Shailaja have been named as respondents in the petition.

The woman SI alone forged a bill of Rs.1.24 lakh and paid the amount to her brother who is a car owner, the petitioner said.
