The Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a chargesheet accusing senior IAS officers of receiving cash kickbacks and opulent hospitality linked to a Haryana government funds scam.
New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) submitted a chargesheet to a court alleging that several Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers were offered cash kickbacks and extravagant hospitality in connection with a large‑scale misappropriation of Haryana government funds. The document, filed under the Prevention of Corruption Act, details how the officers allegedly received monetary inducements and were treated to high‑end accommodations and meals as part of the scheme.
According to the chargesheet, the illicit benefits were provided by individuals and firms seeking favorable treatment for contracts and projects funded by the state. The CBI’s investigation, which spanned several months, uncovered a trail of financial transactions and hospitality records that point to a coordinated effort to influence administrative decisions.
The agency has named the accused officers and several intermediaries, and the case is now pending trial. Officials from the Haryana government have not commented on the allegations, while the CBI has said the prosecution will proceed in accordance with the law.
The filing marks a significant development in the ongoing probe into alleged corruption within the state’s financial administration, underscoring the central agency’s focus on curbing misuse of public resources.
