Two Delhi govt officials suspended over corruption allegations

The sub-registrar of Kapashera and the tehsildar of Mehrauli was suspended with immediate effect by the Delhi government, following complaints and allegations of corruption.

Acting on the directions of the Delhi government, the licence of a deed writer posted in Kapashera was also cancelled, according to the official statement.

The action was taken against officials of the Revenue Department who deal directly with the public. Officials said the move followed persistent complaints regarding delays, obstruction of work and alleged corrupt practices.

Kapashera is a major hub for land and property transactions in Southwest Delhi. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said strict action would be taken against any official found guilty.
