Vigilance officials are set to take departmental action against Vaikom CI Shemeer Khan for allegedly accepting bribes. The alleged misconduct was discovered during a Vigilance inspection at the CI office, following information linking him to the land mafia. Vigilance officials stated they would submit a report today regarding further action against Shemeer Khan. The account, opened last month using an Aswan resident's Aadhaar and PAN card, received approximately two and a half lakh rupees. Shemeer Khan was observed withdrawing the money from various ATMs, often wearing a mask and helmet to avoid being captured on camera.
