BJP MP seeks action against former AIIMS official

NEW DELHI, June 20: A BJP MP Udit Raj has sought action against a former top official of AIIMS, Vineet Chaudhary for alleged misuse of his official position, allegations that the senior IAS officer has strongly denied.

In a letter to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, the BJP leader referred to the complaint made by the NGO Janhit Abhiyan in September 7, 2012 against the ex-Deputy Director Administration for alleged “abuse of official position, corruption and wasteful expenditure of public funds”.

Chaudhary, an IAS officer of 1982 batch belonging to Himachal Pradesh (HP) cadre completed his tenure in AIIMS in November, 2012 and is currently serving as the Additional Chief Secretary in HP government.

Raj also attached a copy of the complaint with his letter.

However, Chaudhary had in the past rejected the allegations as “baseless and incorrect”. (PTI)
