In fresh trouble for suspended IPS officer Amitabh Thakur, an RTI activist on Tuesday complained to the UP Lokayukta accusing him and his wife of having assets disproportionate to their known sources of income.
RTI activist Sanjay Sharma submitted his complaint to Lokayukta NK Mehrotra.
“Sanjay Sharma has submitted a 60-70 page complaint, mainly alleging that Thakur misused his position as IG and both, he and his wife, possessed properties disproportionate to their known sources of income,” a Lokayukta office source said.
Mehrotra, when contacted, said he had not yet seen the complaint in detail and would start action only after an investigation.
“Prima facie it appears that both the husband and the wife posses some 57,000 square feet of residential land which cannot be bought by an honest public servant and so I have demanded that the sources of the income through which it has been acquired should also be probed,” the RTI activist said.
Amitabh Thakur had on Monday submitted details of his immovable assets as directed by the state government.
