Chandigarh: The CBI has registered a preliminary enquiry into the alleged irregularity in the purchase of wheat seeds by the Haryana Seed Development Corporation. The complaint into irregularities was lodged by the former Managing Director of HSDC, Ashok Khemka.
Allegations are that the National Cooperative Consumers Federation and NAFED supplied seeds at higher rates to HSDC causing losses to the exchequer.
This after the Haryana government gave a go ahead to file a chargesheet against Khema for low sales of seeds when he was the Managing Director of Haryana Seed Development Corporation.
Khemka had in the past been chargesheeted by the state government for overstepping his jurisdiction in the cancellation of Robert Vadra-DLF land deal. He had claimed that the Vadra-DLF deal was worth Rs 58 crore and that if all land scams in Haryana were taken into account over the past eight years, the value of scams could be between Rs 20,000 and Rs 3.5 lakh crore.
He has been transferred over 40 times in his career for exposing corruption.
