selected draft of the report has reportedly been leaked to the media, prima facie it appears that the entire purpose
of this alleged investigation was not to find out the truth, but to start a media trial and expose the entire issue.

in his letter that despite studying the contents of the report, the minister himself has recorded in his report on
page 26 that this case of illegal and excessive land compensation was raised by DM hemant Kumar were passed, which are already under criminal investigation by the CBI. The source said the lg mentioned that it is
pertinent to highlight that the proposal for a cbi probe was approved by him on recommendations received
from Chief Secretary naresh Kumar and Divisional Commissioner ashwini Kumar.
