Rajasthan Government Approves ACB Probe into IAS Officer's Property Deal; IPS Officer Placed on APO
The Rajasthan government has approved an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) investigation into senior IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal over allegations of collusion with a private company, involving the purchase of 40 villas at below-market prices and undue benefits such as construction norm relaxations. Agrawal's wife, IPS officer Prashakha Mathur, has been placed on awaiting posting orders amid the probe, as some properties are registered in her name. The ACB's preliminary inquiry found prima facie evidence of misuse of official position causing financial loss to the state.
