Indore, June 25: The Lokayukta has registered a case against Harshika Singh, former Municipal Commissioner and Divyank Singh, CEO of Indore Smart City.
Both IAS officers are accused of appointing contract Engineer as a Building Officer in the corporation against regulations.
Harshika Singh, the then Municipal Commissioner, appointed one as the Building Officer of Zone-13 on 5 June 2023, despite him not being a Corporation Employee. He was appointed on contract as an Assistant Engineer for Indore Smart City in 2017.
A former councilor complained to the Lokayukta, alleging that the state government has set rules for Building Officers, none of which applicant fulfilled. He approved over 250 blueprints in six months, issued hundreds of notices, but took no action on them.
This clearly indicates that his appointment was for illegal monetary gain. Both the former Municipal Commissioner who appointed him and the Smart City CEO, Divyank Singh, who concealed the appointment, are implicated.
After receiving the complaint, the Lokayukta organization recorded statements from several individuals & following which, the Lokayukta registered a case and launched an investigation.
