Even as the CVC investigates over 3,500 Group A officers for alleged charges of corruption, the government has taken disciplinary action against 133 non-performing officers.
Union minister Jitendra Singh said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha that compulsory retirement was given to an IAS officer in 2015. "Necessary provisions have been invoked/recommended in the case of 30 Group A and 103 Group B officers till May 2017," he pointed out.
In 2014, a graft-tainted IAS couple -- Arvind and Tinoo Joshi -- in Madhya Pradesh were dismissed from service, four years after an income-tax search on their house led to the detection of disproportionate assets worth Rs 350 crore and recovery of Rs 3 crore in cash.
