The complainant's counsel claimed that Sharma and Awasthi

were being harassed and their life has become miserable since the time they filed the complaint and that the RACO's secretary was badly beaten up a few days ago.

The EOW has already filed a report before the magistrate seeking time to conclude its enquiry into allegations of irregularities in grant of contracts for roads and sewer lines in the city.

The complaint has alleged that there was a "deep-rooted corruption" in the matter and said the documents showed no material was actually purchased for executing the projects.
