A former disgruntled employee of Khadi Board, Haryana, has landed in the Delhi Police net for allegedly filing a ‘false’ criminal complaint with a “mala fide” intention to defame Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) by accusing the Gandhian institution of dealing with prohibited items — ivory and whale bone.
Accused Naresh Kadyan, masquerading as an RTI activist and a social worker to file frivolous complaints and harass government officials, has been booked by Delhi Police under section 182 of IPC for giving false information in a criminal complaint lodged by him at the IP Estate police station in Delhi.
Delhi Police which filed its report in a court here said Kadyan has been accused of “deliberately and intentionally” concealing the fact that KVIC was not dealing in any such contraband item, which was already in his knowledge.
