Whistleblower officer Ashok Khemka accuses Haryana govt. of victimising him

“This omission seems to be deliberate to victimise me because the reporting period coincided with actions taken by me against several land scams, including a massive corruption combining land-licensing and land-releases forcing landowner-farmers to undertake distress sale of their farmlands to the builder mafia..,” he alleged.  

Khemka, who had hit the headlines for cancelling mutation of Vadra's land deal with realty giant DLF in Gurgaon in October 2012, said, “Two quasi-judicial orders made on October 12 and October 15, 2012 concerned companies of a VVIP. Why should I be penalised for wilful omission of the accepting authority to perform his duties to appraise my PAR”.  

“Several letters were written to your office in this regard, but all were arbitrarily dumped. I should not be victimised further,” Khema, who has faced over 40 transfers in his career, said.

The IAS officer also alleged that there is “tremendous witch-hunting and hounding after October 15, 2012 with full political patronage of the present ruling party at the state and the Centre”.
