IPS officer Amitabh Thakur, who was recently suspended by the Uttar Pradesh Government, has come strongly against the State Ombudsman, alleging that the investigation completed against him by lokayukta NK Mehrotra is not only a complete farce but it has also shaken the foundations of the august office.
Thakur said he has already challenged the lokayukta report in the High Court on Thursday seeking quashing of this illegal report. He would also take appropriate legal measures against Mehrotra.
Thakur said Mehrotra claimed that he had disproportionate assets which needed CBI and ED enquiry but surprisingly neither he nor his father, mother, wife or brother were given any opportunity to be heard and Mehrotra falsely stated that the property is owned by him or his family members.
He further said Mehrotra’s conduct was completely against the dignity of the lokayukta and proves his biased work and conduct. That is why the moment he filed a petition in High Court in lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court on 24 August, Mehrotra immediately sent a half-baked report in great hurry to the Chief Minister.
