Verdict: Meenakshi Mill (Oottukulli) produced only 49% yield on a puzhungal batch when 60%+ was expected. Over 10% of paddy is unaccounted for — confirmed fraud. Selwin: "நிரந்தர தடை. மாறாது." No second chances. If Renuka or any staff sends paddy here — serious policy violation.

🔍 மோசடி ஆய்வு — How Mill Fraud Happens
Expert Advisors: Paskar + Udayakumar (Session 28, V3)
- ⚖️Systemic Issue: Mill fraud is rampant across Tamil Nadu — not specific to one mill.
- 📦Pilferage method: Mills routinely take 1–2 kg per bag without disclosure. Out of 10 batches, ~5 involve pilferage.
- 💰Bran income: Bran (thadhu/தவிடு) sells at ₹100/kg — significant secondary income for mills. They divert it silently.
- 🔒Proof impossible: Once batch is processed, proof of theft is nearly impossible to obtain legally.
- 👁️Only protection: Stand and watch the entire milling process yourself. No exceptions.
