In a file noting on the government's submission of the report to him, VK Saxena has said the report "could very well go on to hamper the ongoing investigation, instead of facilitating it".
Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has refused to consider a report of Vigilance Minister Atishi alleging "prima facie complicity" of Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar in the Bamnoli land acquisition matter, saying it seems to be "completely based" on the minister's preconceived assumptions and presumptions, Raj Niwas officials said on Sunday.
In a file noting on the government's submission of the report to him, Mr Saxena has said the report "could very well go on to hamper the ongoing investigation, instead of facilitating it".
"I have received the 'Preliminary Report' on 'Complaints', submitted by Hon'ble Minister (Vigilance) and endorsed by Hon'ble Chief Minister. It is surprising and unfortunate, to say the least, that this report, which deals with sensitive vigilance-related matters and has been marked to my Secretariat in confidential cover, is already in public domain and its digital/electronic copies are freely available and details thereof have been widely reported in the media," he has said in the file.
