Haryana Govt. Denies Probe into IAS Officers in Faridabad Scandal
The Haryana government is stopping an investigation into four high-ranking government officials who used to run the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad.
The investigation was about possible bad actions involving construction projects.
Authorities filed five different cases between 2022 and 2023, alleging the officials misused their positions.
However, the government has refused to allow the investigators to look into the officers' roles in most of these cases.
This means the officials will not face immediate investigation regarding these specific issues.
The Haryana government declined permission to investigate four IAS officers in alleged MCF irregularities.
Five FIRs were registered by the State Vigilance Bureau and Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The officers involved had previously served as commissioners of the MCF.
One FIR involved splitting a project to avoid approvals, allegedly causing a ₹4.93 crore loss.
The bureau can still investigate some IAS officers in at least three FIRs.
