Patra further said that a committee has been set up to investigate this matter and added that stringent action would be taken against those responsible.

"The Secretary of the Haryana Government has assured that an investigating committee has been set up and within 10 days we will know as to who are responsible for the missing files, action will be taken against them," he added.

According to reports, some pages from the official files pertaining to the controversial DLF-Robert Vadra deal have gone missing. This was revealed after IAS officer Ashok Khemka, who had blown the lid off the alleged land scam, received a copy of the file through a Right to Information (RTI) petition.

Khemka had earlier alleged that he was being persecuted for challenging the land deals involving Vadra. The senior bureaucrat has been in the news since October 2012 for canceling the mutation of Vadra's DLF land deal.
