The allotment of land worth Rs 50 crore to Rampur Distillery owned by Radico Khaitan Limited has run into rough weather. The district administration has constituted a three-member committee headed by ADM Syed Nizamuddin to probe the alleged land allotment deal in favour of Radico Khaitan Limited.

Rampur Distillery is one of the largest distilleries of India owned by Radico Khaitan. It is the manufacturer of famous brands in Indian Made Foreign Liquor. As per primary investigation by the SDM,the land was transferred to Radico Khaitan by entering their name in the revenue records without official orders. Final decision will be taken after completing the report, ADM Nizamuddin,who is heading the probe committee,said.

The Congress has demanded a CBI probe into the matter.

On the other hand,K P Singh,Director,Radico Khaitan Limited claimed that the issue is being raised after 30 years for different reasons. We are a respectable industrial house and everything is in order. We will not be bogged down by such matter. We will come out clean after the probe, K P Singh said.
