Shimla: Former Deputy Advocate General (DAG) of Himachal Vinay Kumar has given a written complaint to the Vigilance against former Chairman Real Estate Development Authority (RERA) Dr. Shrikant Baldi. He has demanded an FIR against Shrikant Baldi.
Vinay Sharma has sent a complaint to ADG Vigilance through email and requested to register a case and recover the government funds spent by misusing the powers.
Vinay Sharma said that the vigilance should take action soon in this case of corruption. He said that the vigilance does not need to take any approval from anyone, because Baldi has done this corruption not as an IAS but as RERA Chairman. RERA Chairman is not authorized to distribute apples for free.
Vinay Sharma said that Shrikant Baldi has distributed apples worth Rs 10 lakh to IAS-IPS friends. Most of these apples have been given to IAS officers of Rajasthan.
