A team of Lokayukta special establishment police on Thursday raided the residence of Deputy Labour Commissioner LP Pathak and unearthed unaccounted property worth more than Rs50 crore.
According to Lokayukta police official, “Pathak was a teacher before he joined service 25 years ago and had amassed property which is not in tune with his salary.”
Police said that Pathak owned about forty acres of land in Singrauli, several residential plots across the Indore city, a duplex house in Pigdamber (Rau), a flat in BCM Heights; gold and silver ornaments; shares, bonds, insurance policies; cars, motorbikes, cash and other valuables. It was also found that he had contributed Rs3 crore for constructing a temple in his ancestral village in Chandrawar in Uttar Pradesh.
A 15-member team of Lokayukta sleuths led by SP Birendra Singh raided his residence at 5:45 am in Nandanagar and confiscated illegal property. Simultaneously, Lokayukta officials along with local police raided his residences in Pigdamber and Singrauli. The search continued for more than four hours.
A police official said, “At present, he must be drawing around Rs60,000 to Rs70,000 salary per month.” LP Pathak is serving as Deputy Labour Commissioner in industrial relations.
