Haryana Cadre IAS officer of 1991 batch, Ashok Khemka has sought performance accountability from the probe agency CBI. The officer wrote on his twitter handle, that, the CBI has an annual budget of ₹800 crore. “But how many convictions and acquittals (in the cases probed by the central agency). How will be the accountability fixed? If we take into account cases investigated in the last few years…Did any big wheel get sentenced? The visible teeth (tusks) and those used by an elephant to eat are not the same,”
While the IAS officer refused to comment on the intent behind his tweet, it clearly showed his general disillusionment with the functioning of the central agency tasked with probes involving politicians, bureaucrats and high-profile individuals.
Khemka, has been in a whistle-blower in several major scams, in the past, and it is being believed that his apparent disappointed with the way the CBI has probed cases involving former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, including the Manesar land release case is the reason behind.
