Former
Haryana Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda is
under the CBI scanner in a case involving alleged irregularities in the
allocation of industrial plots at Panchkula, when he was the chairman of
Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA).
As
the CBI registered a case to probe the alleged irregularities and
corruption, Hooda said this was a case of personal vendetta.
The
case, handed over from the Vigilance Bureau of Haryana to the CBI, has
named the chairman of HUDA, three former bureaucrats, 13 beneficiaries
and some unknown officials of HUDA and the state government.
Since the former Chief Minister is the chairman of HUDA, his role will be investigated by the agency.
After
registering the case on Monday May 16, 2016 the CBI carried out searches at 16
locations including Chandigarh, Panchkula, Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon,
Karnal, Kurukshetra and Rohtak against the former bureaucrats and
beneficiaries, who are alleged to have used their links in getting
industrial plots in Panchkula.
According
to the FIR, industrial plots were given to 14 people by allegedly
manipulating certain provisions of allotment, which allowed them to
submit their applications even after the last date of submission ended.
The FIR stated that all the
14 people, who had been allotted lands had submitted their applications
on January 24, 2012, despite the last date of submission being January
6, 2012
