Land compensation: Atishi submits report to Delhi CM, alleges 'prima facie complicity' of chief secretary
Delhi Vigilance Minister Atishi has submitted a 670-page probe report to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleging «prima facie complicity» of Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar in a land acquisition matter and claiming it would have involved a windfall gain of Rs 897 crore for stakeholders, government sources said on Tuesday. According to the report, the minister has recommended removal of Chief Secretary Kumar and Divisional Commissioner Ashwani Kumar from their posts to pave the way for a fair probe.
No immediate reaction was available from the chief secretary on the latest development in the matter that has further fuelled the ongoing tussle between the Delhi government bureaucracy and the AAP dispensation.
In the report, Atishi said the chief minister may directly send it to the lieutenant governor and may make recommendations as well.
Kejriwal had forwarded last week a complaint received by him to the vigilance minister for inquiry.
