The inquiry would be conducted by a Special Investigation Team headed by A S Chawla, Inspector General of Police, State Vigilance Bureau, Gurgaon, a spokesman of the Bureau said here today.
To ensure early finalisation of the enquiry, Chawla would spend minimum three days in a week at Panchkula as most of the records related to this inquiry are in Chandigarh or Panchkula, he said.
The spokesman said that the Bureau has already written to Chief Administrator, HUDA to hand over the entire records related to allotment of these plots.
The inquiry was ordered by Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
These industrial plots ranging from 496 square metres to 1,280 square metres were allegedly allotted to the candidates who were either relatives of the then Chief Minister (Hooda) or those of his close associates and friends, a Haryana government release issued on May 5 had said.
The BJP government, which was formed after last year's assembly polls in October, had received several complaints drawing its attention towards alleged irregularities committed in allotment of industrial plots, including the charge-sheet submitted by Indian National Lok Dal to the Governor regarding this, the release had said.
