2001 batch IAS officer Vijay Dahiya, who has been booked under the corruption charges recently by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), was relieved from his responsibilities including post of Commissioner and secretary to government, Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship Department here on Thursday. Apart from this, he was holding the post of Member Secretary, Kurukshetra.
It is believed that the state government may take stern action against him. It has also come to fore that the ACB has asked him to join the investigation.
Dahiya is apprehending his arrest after a local court in Panchkula dismissed his anticipatory bail plea.
ACB has already served a notice to him. If he does not appear in the investigation, the corruption body may tighten the noose around his neck, as per a source.
Earlier, a Delhi-based woman, Poonam Chopra, was arrested on April 20 for accepting a bribe of Rs 3 lakh allegedly on behalf of Vijay Dahiya from the owner of an educational institute.
