Mumbai: In more trouble for Devyani Khobragade, the Indian Foreign Service officer is likely to face a probe in connection with the Adarsh scam. Devyani owns a flat in the controversial Adarsh society in Mumbai's Colaba area.
According to sources, the CBI has evidence that she purchased the flat after giving false declarations and by hiding information about another flat allotted to her under government quota. However, Devyani's father Uttam Khobragade has said that the declaration was made by him and she was not aware about it. Affidavit is on 29 June, 2004, which was signed by me. On that day we were not owner of the flat. "Devyani doesn't know what's stated in the application or affidavit. So, I am responsible not devyani. You cant hold somebody else responsible," he said.
According to Maharashtra government rules, an official applying for a flat under a government quota has to give a signed affidavit stating that he or she does not own any other flat.
Devyani had an apartment in Oshiwara locality in the city which too she had got under the government quota.
