Chandigarh: Three weeks after approving a chargesheet against whistle-blower IAS officer Ashok Khemka for “administrative misconduct” and “over-stepping his jurisdiction” in cancelling the mutation of land deals in Gurgaon between Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra and DLF, the state government is preparing another chargesheet.

Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hood on Wednesday approved a chargesheet against Khemka holding him responsible for alleged low sale of wheat seeds when he was MD of Haryana Seeds Development Corporation between 2012-13.

Principal Secretary (Agriculture) Roshan Lal had recommended that the IAS officer be chargesheeted, sources said.

Chief Secretary P K Chaudhary was of the opinion that the matter should have been probed first and then the chargesheet be issued, but he was overruled by Hooda’s Principal Secretary S S Dhillon, sources said.
