Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav has ordered a single-member probe into the large scale allotments of land at prime locations in commercial and residential categories at Noida and Greater Noida during Mayawati. The probe will be conducted by senior IAS officer and revenue board member T. George Joseph.

‘‘There had been bungling to the tune of Rs 2,500 crore and Mayawati has been the biggest beneficiary. The inquiry will reveal the truth,’’ alleged state SP chief Ram Sharan Das.

Meanwhile, former standing counsel for the Uttar Pradesh government Ajay Agarwal has charged then chief minister Mayawati and some senior officials of amassing huge property through the controversial Taj projects, including the Taj Heritage Corridor.

Agarwal, who was removed on June 16 following the unearthing of the scam, claimed that Mayawati had purchased a Rs 34 crore villa at Chanakayapuri in New Delhi, a villa at Shimla and a farmhouse at Gayaskhut in Bulandshahr district recently.

Besides, the former chief minister’s brother Raj Kumar and father Prabhu Dayal had been given prime land near the proposed Taj Expressway, he alleged. Agarwal also released some official documents on which the Supreme Court had already ordered the CBI to take the help of the fingerprint experts to check on all the overwriting.
