New Delhi: In big relief for IAS officer Ashok Khemka, his appointment at the Centra has been cleared by the Cabinet Secretary. Khemka has been cleared of the allegations of misuse of official duties.
The allegations were levelled against him by the previous government. Khemka had alleged that Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra was involved in illegal land deals.
Khemka had left the Hooda government embarrassed in October 2012, when he had cancelled the mutation of a Rs 58-crore land deal between United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra’s company, Skylight Hospitality, and reality giant DLF.
Khemka had also ordered an inquiry into the undervaluation of land deals done in four districts in Haryana, adjoining New Delhi, by Vadra.
Both orders were passed by Khemka after he had been transferred as director-general, consolidation and inspector general, registration, by the state government.
