Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta today asked the state government to lodge an FIR against Ram Achal Rajbhar, who was a minister in previous Mayawati regime, and also recommended a CBI or Vigilance probe against him.
UP Lokayukta Justice N K Mehrotra gave the recommendation on a complaint lodged by one Anand Kumar Dwivedi.
Mehrotra said that an FIR should be registered against the Minister under Anti Corruption Act, on charges of disproportinate assets and money laundering, sources said.
"I have send my report on a complaint against former transport minister Ram Achal Rajbhar to the Chief Minister," Lokayukta told PTI.
Rajbhar is currently the state president of Bahujan Samaj Party.
