Chandigarh (16.01.2023): Neelima (IAS: 2008: PB) will join the investigation into the PSIEC land bifurcation case this week after an ‘assurance’ that she will not be arrested. She agreed to answer queries of Vigilance Bureau sleuths regarding the alleged irregularities in the bifurcation of the plot allowed by the PSIEC.
The officer was posted as the Managing Director (MD) of the PSIEC when the bifurcation of the plot was allowed to a real estate developer. The officer has pleaded innocence in the case in a letter written to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The state IAS Officers Association has been up in arms against the registration of an FIR against her while stating that a prior sanction was not taken before the FIR was registered against her.
Sources said that a team of the Vigilance Bureau had already visited the native state of the IAS officer as part of the investigation.
