The Anti-Corruption Bureau in Rajasthan has taken decisive action by removing Rajendra Vijay, the Commissioner of Kota Division (IAS), from his position. In shocking discoveries, this high-ranking official was found to have amassed wealth far exceeding legitimate means. During raids at his four properties, authorities uncovered assets exceeding ₹1 billion. Luxurious commercial and residential properties were found in 13 prime locations across Rajasthan, along with 16 bank accounts in various banks. Investigations are still ongoing, with plans to open sealed bank lockers.
Under the directives of the ACB Headquarters, coordinated teams launched operations in Jaipur, Kota, and Dausa on Wednesday morning to investigate assets disproportionate to Rajendra Vijay's known income. These raids spanned four significant locations linked to Vijay.
Illegal Assets in Family Names
The Anti-Corruption Bureau's Director General, Dr. Ravi Prakash Meharda, revealed that confidential sources indicated Rajendra Vijay had acquired assets in his family’s names through corrupt practices. These assets' estimated market value runs into billions.
The ACB’s Intelligence Branch discreetly verified these claims, and upon confirmation, filed a case under disproportionate assets. The operations were executed under the supervision of Deputy Inspector General of Police, Jaipur, Kaluram Rawat, with ACB's special unit spearheaded by Additional Superintendent of Police Pushpendra Singh Rathore, securing search warrants from the competent court.
The house search in Jaipur unearthed documents related to 13 residential/commercial plots, including a luxurious house on Tonk Road and 'ZUDIO' showroom No. 7, Ground Floor, GT Galleria, Block-B, Ashok Marg, C-Scheme, Jaipur. Furthermore, cash amounting to over ₹222,000, 335 grams of gold jewelry, 11.8 kilograms of silver ornaments, and three four-wheelers were discovered, along with numerous insurance policy investments, an unexplored bank locker, and 16 bank accounts holding substantial sums.
Estimates suggest that Rajendra Vijay, IAS, accumulated assets worth billions through corrupt practices far exceeding his legitimate income. Additional investigation will probe evidence of investments in benami properties by Vijay and his family.
