Dharmendra Gahlot, former mayor of Ajmer, released a video alleging that officials and elected representatives were also involved in the 13‑petition case, yet only he faces action.
Former Ajmer mayor Dharmendra Gahlot has publicly questioned why he alone is being held responsible in a case involving 13 petitions. In a video he posted, the ex‑mayor asserted that the investigation and subsequent actions have singled him out while overlooking the participation of other officials and elected representatives.
The 13‑petition matter, which has been under scrutiny by local authorities, originally implicated several individuals linked to municipal administration. However, procedural steps taken so far have resulted in only Gahlot facing legal repercussions, prompting his demand for a broader inquiry.
Gahlot emphasized that the entire process involved multiple layers of bureaucracy and political actors, and he called for an impartial review that holds all responsible parties accountable. He urged the relevant agencies to disclose the basis for targeting him exclusively.
As of now, no official response has been recorded from the investigating agencies or the state government regarding his allegations. The issue remains under public observation as residents of Ajmer await clarification on the case's progress.
