New Delhi: The Haryana government has served a chargesheet to IAS officer Ashok Khemka, accusing him of causing damage to the reputation of Robert Vadra, Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law and businessman, and that of real estate giant DLF.
The Bhupinder Hooda government has also charged the bureaucrat with illegally cancelling the mutation of a land deal between Vadra and DLF.
It has asked Khemka to respond to the chargesheet within 15 days.
This is not the first time that he has been served chargesheet by the state government.
Earlier, the government had chargesheeted him for low sales of seeds when he was the Managing Director of Haryana Seed Development Corporation.
In October 2012 he cancelled a Rs. 57-crore deal between Vadra and DLF on the grounds that it violated basic guidelines to grant windfall gain to the businessman.
Since then he has been transferred several times, most recently last month when he was posted out of the Archives Department, which he took over as Director General in April this year.
Khemka has alleged that he is being persecuted for challenging Vadra's deals.
