Charges against pritam singh

Pritam singh joined the examination board as assistant secretary over two decades ago and, except for a brief exit in 1991, has been working with the board since then. He was appointed director (special exams) in 2004 and, by a conservative estimate, his current salary is over Rs 1 lakh a month.
Complaint was forwarded by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in December last year. The complaint state that pritam consequently amassed assets worth almost Rs 30 crore, which include a double-storey house, five apartments and three plots of land bought in the names of his wife and daughters in areas such as Sahibabad (Ghaziabad, UP), Dwarka (Delhi) and Hapur (UP). Pritam’s father retired as a class IV government employee and even at his current salary, owning property worth crores seems unlikely.
