CBI registers case against former Haryana CM Hooda in AJL land allocation case
AJL was the publisher of now defunct daily The National Herald.
The Haryana Vikas Party government in 1996 took back the possession of the Panchkula plot, on the expiry of its lease to AJL in 1982,reports said.
However, the plot was re-allotted to AJL in 2005 after the Congress government came to power in Haryana.
In May 2016, the Haryana state vigilance bureau alleged that the state suffered financial loss after the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) allotted the plot to AJL instead of holding an open auction, according to media reports.
The former chief minister has been booked for criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and cheating and misuse of official position by public servants, reported the Hindustan Times.
