Former Official of Delhi Jal Board and Vigilance Special Secretary Accused of Police Complaints.

Former Delhi Jal Board CEO and 2007 batch IAS officer, Udit Prakash Rai, who is currently serving as the Secretary to the Mizoram government, has filed complaints against Delhi vigilance special secretary YVVJ Rajasekhar. He alleges that there is a biased inquiry being conducted against him in the Jal Vihar bungalow case, and his family is being subjected to harassment. Rajasekhar has filed a police complaint against Rai, alleging forgery in annual performance assessment reports. The Jal Vihar bungalow case refers to the April 26 show-cause notice issued by the vigilance department to Rai for allegedly demolishing a monument dating to the 15th century to build a double-storey bungalow in its place in 2021-22 when he was DJB CEO. The monument in question finds a mention in the ASI’s list of Muhammadan and Hindu monuments, prepared in 1922, and is identified as Mahal, built during the Sayyid rule in Delhi. Meanwhile, Rai’s wife Shilpi filed a police complaint on May 30, alleging she was being stalked by unknown people. Rai filed another complaint on June 1, alleging that he is receiving show-cause notices in order to get the house vacated from him and get the same allocated to a very senior officer of DJB urging a neutral officer should replace the probe officer.
