Lucknow, Aug 18: Even as the Central Bureau of Investigation is conducting a probe into Taj heritage corridor case, the Uttar Pradesh government has initiated another enquiry into the case and served a notice on suspended environment secretary R K Sharma.
A 10-page notice of departmental enquiry was pasted
outside the Dalibagh residence of Sharma last night. Sharma
has been asked to submit his reply within 15 days.
In the notice, the government held Sharma responsible for initiating the Rs 175 crore Taj heritage corridor project and misleading the mission management board, which had cleared the project.
A security guard, Ramesh Sahu, posted outside the residence of Sharma told today that last night few people came and asked for Sahib (Sharma). "When I told them that Sahib is in Delhi, they pasted a notice outside the closed door," he said.
This would be the second enquiry initiated by the state government in the case. Earlier, finance secretary Naveen Chandra Vajpayee had conducted the probe and the report had been submitted to the state government.
The report, however, has not been made public.
The CBI has already questioned Sharma, in which he had reportedly blamed chief secretary of the state D S Bagga for initiating the project.
The CBI had submitted an interim report in the matter to the Supreme Court last week. Bureau Report
