    INTRODUCTION:

    who is a whistleblower??
    a person who informs on a person or organization regarded as engaging in an unlawful or
    immoral activity.
    Today we are here to give a presentation on whistleblower:
    ASHOK KHEMKA:
    Ashok Khemka ( ) is a senior Indian Administrative Service officer in the Indian
    state of Haryana and best known for cancelling the mutation of Sonia Gandhi's son-inlaw Robert Vadra's illegal land deal inGurgaon.[1][2][3] He has been transferred 45 times in 23
    years by state governments after he exposed corruption in the departments he was posted
    in.
    [4]

    He is a 1991 batch IAS officer of the Haryana Cadre.[8] He has been repeatedly transferred
    by various state governments in his home cadre of Haryana after he exposed corruption in
    the departments he was posted in.
    Highlighted Land Deal corruption[edit]
    Khemka highlighted land deal corruption in Gurgaon and around for conversion of commercial land. As per the report
    there is corruption between 20,000 crore (US$3 billion) to 350,000 crore (US$52 billion).[22] Khemka was most
    recently Haryanas Director-General of Land Consolidation and Land Records-cum-Inspector-General of Registration.
    During his 80-day stint in the department, Khemka had detected serious irregularities in land transactions involving
    transfer of panchayat land worth several hundred crores of rupees to newly created real estate companies. [23] Khemka
    was transferred on 11 October 2012 and he took action on the matter after his transfer. He claims he has been
    harassed and transferred 40 times in the last 21 years for merely doing his job. [24] As the Managing Director of Haryana
    Seeds Development Corporation Limited, Khemka exposed its irregularities in just five months as its head following
    which he was transferred on 4 April 2013 and was replaced by B. S. Duggal, a Deputy Secretary five ranks below him. [11]

    Vadra Land Deal[edit]


    The State Government constituted an Inquiry Committee of three senior IAS officers to nail Khemka on the cancellation
    of Vadra's land deal in village Sikhohpur (Gurgaon). Khemka responded to the report of the Inquiry Committee in
    his Comments to the State Government which is divided into 8 Chapters. The specific land deal of Robert Vadra is
    detailed in Chapter 6. Khemka's comments are a brilliant exposition of how crony capitalism works in India is sapping
    the moral fabric of the nation.[25]
    Rao Inderjit Singh, a member of the Lok Sabha from Gurgaon has said that a detailed inquiry must be conducted to
    "substantiate or refute" the charges against Robert Vadra, whose business deals with real estate major DLF have been
    questioned by Ashok Khemka. He said that Mr Vadra's land dealings should be part of larger investigation into alleged
    irregular practices in the governments appropriation and sale of nearly 1200 acres. [26]
