Two officials at the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation Limited (Aavin) were placed under suspension for failing to maintain proper records and for committing irregularities in Erode on October 1, 2022.
During a surprise inspection at Aavin dairy at Chithode, Minister for Dairy Development S.M. Nasar found that records were not maintained properly for production and distribution of milk packets. The Minister found that outwards were not registered in the registry leading to irregularities. An Assistant Engineer Ravichandran was found responsible for the lapses.
Likewise, the Minister inspected the Aavin booth functioning on the premises where ghee and other milk products are sold. After verifying the stock, cash and the records, he found stock worth ₹ 22,435 missing. Deputy Manager Mohammed Mustafa was the officer in charge of monitoring the booth. The Minister directed the general manager to place the two staff under suspension.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
