Shilpi Rai, the wife of IAS officer Udit Prakash Rai (AGMUT cadre), has filed a police complaint against Special Secretary (Vigilance) Y.V.V.J. Rajasekhar, charging him with harassment.
The development comes nearly two months after the Delhi government Vigilance Department served a show-cause notice to Mr. Rai, the then CEO of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), for the alleged demolition of a 15th-century palace in south-east Delhi’s Jal Vihar to make space for his official accommodation.
In her complaint to the police, Ms. Rai said she feels “insecure; he [Mr. Rajasekhar] is misusing his position and, with his influence over the Delhi police and other departments, trying to harm me and my children”.
Mr. Rai has written to the Chief Secretary urging him to replace Mr. Rajasekhar, who is investigating the alleged demolition of the palace dating back to the Pathan period.
The former DJB CEO, currently posted in Mizoram, has accused the Special Secretary (Vigilance) of being “motivated”.
When contacted, Mr. Rajasekhar said the allegations were a means to “pre-empt” ongoing investigations against the couple.
