Deepender links arrest of IAS officer to RS poll

Published by Parlour News

Congress Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda on Wednesday linked the CBI arrest of IAS officer Pankaj Agarwal in the ₹504-crore IDFC First Bank scam to allegations of political interference during the Rajya Sabha election. In a post on X, the MP claimed Mr. Agarwal was the Returning Officer during the RS poll and “at the behest of BJP” made a “concerted effort” to ensure a BJP-backed candidate’s victory by invalidating Congress votes. He alleged the BJP government used the threat of action against the officer, already “implicated in graft”, to serve political interests. “The IDFC First Bank scam was of such magnitude that the CBI could not overlook it,” Mr. Hooda claimed.
