After sacking Asim Ahmed Khan over graft charges, the Delhi government has now removed A Nedunchezhiyan from the post of Deputy Commissioner of North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) under whose jurisdiction Khan's constituency falls.
"The competent authority is pleased to repatriate A Nedunchezhiyan from the post of Deputy Commissioner of North Delhi Municipal Corporation with the direction to report to Services department, Government of NCT of Delhi, immediately," Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar said in his order.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had yesterday sacked Khan from the post of Minister for Food and Environment for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 6 lakh from a builder, and recommended a CBI probe into the case.
North Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor Ravinder Gupta has also ordered a probe into the allegations of graft against the civic body's officials.
"An enquiry by the Vigilance department has been ordered to find out whether any official of NDMC asked a bribe from any builder in the case," Gupta said, adding that strict action will be taken against guilty officers and staff members.
Confirming that Deputy Commissioner of NDMC (City zone) Nedunchezhiyan has been "repatriated", Gupta claimed that most of the Delhi Government ministers were involved in graft cases and "Asim Khan's graft case is just the tip of the iceberg.
