CHENNAI: Kancheepuram district administration has transferred the record clerk from the sub-registrar office in Sriperumbudur who had issued a death certificate of former PM Rajiv Gandhi to a woman claiming to be Gandhi’s widow.

After the sub-registrar officer Ramalingam issued the death certificate copy to a woman, who identified herself as Sabeen Firdous from Hyderabad, the Kancheepuram district authorities have ordered a departmental probe into the incident. The probe will look into the procedures followed before issuing the certificate.

Based on the report, the Kancheepuram district administration ordered transfer of the record clerk B Natarajan, who had given the death certificate to the woman. A revenue official at the Kancheepuram district collectorate confirmed his transfer with immediate effect.

A revenue official said, the issuing of death certificate is not confidential, but what has caused discomfiture is that she claimed to be Rajiv Gandhi’s wife. (Agencies)
