According to the home minister, investigation was incomplete in 56 out of 72 cases.
Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered 72 cases against IAS and RAS officers in last three years. Home minister Gulab Chand Kataria informed this in the state assembly while replying to a question from BJP legislator Mohan Lal Gupta on Wednesday.
According to the home minister, investigation was incomplete in 56 out of 72 cases. There were 18 cases against 10 IAS officers while 50 RAS officers had 54 cases against them. The ACB has filed charge sheets in 10 cases and final report was filed in six.
“Some cases are complex therefore investigation takes time,” he said while expressing inability to set time limit for filing charge sheet against the accused officers.
Gupta’s question is relevant in context of ongoing controversy about amendments in CrPC and IPC. The government was forced to refer both the bills to the select committee. These bills were seen as an attempt to provide protection to ‘corrupt’ officials.
