The Rajasthan administration has cleared a detailed inquiry into IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal for alleged misuse of office, favouring Goyal Fashion and buying villas at Ananta Resort in relatives' names.
The state government of Rajasthan has given the green light to a comprehensive investigation into IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal. The probe will examine allegations that he abused his official position to secure undue advantages for the private firm Goyal Fashion.
According to the order, investigators will also look into the purchase of twenty villas at the Ananta Resort, reportedly registered in the names of Agrawal's relatives. The properties are said to have been acquired using funds that may be linked to the officer's official earnings.
The decision follows a series of complaints lodged by opposition parties and civil society groups, who claim the transactions violate service rules and raise questions of corruption. The inquiry will be conducted by a senior officer appointed by the state cabinet, and its findings will be reported to the Chief Minister's office.
If the investigation uncovers evidence of misconduct, disciplinary action under the Indian Administrative Service (Conduct) Rules could be initiated, potentially leading to suspension or removal from service. The case underscores growing scrutiny of public officials' financial dealings in Rajasthan.
