Rajasthan: Amid corruption probe, IAS officer, IPS wife issued show cause notice over assets

The Rajasthan government has issued show cause notices to senior IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal and his wife IPS officer Prashakha Mathur over allegations regarding their immovable assets. Both officers have been placed on Awaiting Posting Order (APO) for "administrative reasons" following allegations of corruption involving them and their family.

Agrawal, a 1993-batch Rajasthan-cadre IAS officer, has been accused of colluding with a private firm, while Mathur, a 1995-batch IPS officer, was removed from her position as Additional Director General in charge of Planning, Modernisation and Welfare. They have been given seven days to provide a full clarification on the matter.
