IAC sets up panel to probe Bhushan, Damania

New Delhi, Oct 19: Facing allegations against its top members, India Against Corruption today announced a probe by its ‘internal Lokpal' of three retired judges to investigate charges against Prashant Bhushan, Anjali Damania and Mayank

“The government has been making all kinds of allegations, fabricating things to defame us. So we had said we are willing to face any probe by the goverment or any independent body.  The government does not do anything in this direction, so we said we will form our own ombudsman,” he said. 

In Mumbai, Damania and Gandhi told reporters that they were ready to face any probe. “If the probe finds us guilty, we will quit,” they said.

Asked about allegations against her, Damania claimed she was legally a farmer and have documents to prove it.

“I have not done any ‘benami' transactions,” she said, referring to questions about her land deals.

“We have nothing to hide. The probe will clear everything,” Gandhi said.
