Complaint by: Rakesh Raman
Dear Mr. Vinai Kumar Saxena and Other Authorities,
I am a national award-winning journalist and anti-corruption activist. Along with my other editorial and humanitarian activities, I produce the annual India Corruption Research Report (ICRR 2022 and ICRR 2023) and The Integrity Bulletin news magazine which covers local and international corruption news and issues.
My profile details are given below. This is to inform you that in response to the complaints filed by me, a few Delhi Government bureaucrats (whose names are given below) are facing corruption investigations at the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Cabinet Secretariat, and MHA, Government of India.
These bureaucrats are operating as part of a citywide crime and corruption racket – termed as Widehouse Corruption Scandal – which is being run in Delhi by local criminals in connivance with crooked politicians, corrupt bureaucrats, complicit police officials, dishonest members of judiciary, and builders’ mafia.
While more than 20 top government bureaucrats, police officials, and members of the judiciary are involved in this criminal enterprise, at this stage some of them are facing investigations for their corrupt practices.

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India, with its Office Memorandums directed Mr. D.K. Jain, Under Secretary (VCC), Cabinet Secretariat to hold investigation into this IAS corruption case through the Group of Secretaries constituted in terms of DOP&T OM No. 104/100/2009-AVD-I dated 14.01.2010. [ The DoPT Office Memorandums are reproduced below as Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3, Exhibit 4, and Exhibit 5. ]
Please also refer to the response letters dated 03.10.2023 and 10.11.2022 from the Cabinet Secretariat to the RTI applications that I had filed. The Cabinet Secretariat said that this matter is under process. [ Cabinet Secretariat response letters are reproduced below as Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 7. ]
According to the DoPT Office Memorandums, the names of the IAS officers who are facing corruption investigations are given below:
Mr. Anurag Jain. IAS (MP: 1989), former Vice Chairman, Delhi Development Authority (DDA), and currently Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce & Industry
Mr. Tarun Kapoor, IAS (HP: 1987), former Vice Chairman, DDA, and Retd., Secretary M/o Petroleum and Natural Gas
Mr. Pankaj Kumar, IAS (AGMUT:2012), District Magistrate (North-East) Delhi
Mr. Devinder Singh, IAS (AGMUT:2003). former Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS), Delhi Government
Mr. Devesh Singh, IAS (AGMUT: 2008), Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS), Delhi Government
Mr. Manish Kumar Gupta, IAS (AGMUT: 1991), Vice Chairman, DDA
Mr. Sanjeev Khirwar, IAS (AGMUT:1994), former Chairman, Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), Government of NCT of Delhi, Delhi
Mr. Virendra Kumar, IAS (AGMUT: 2005), former Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS), Delhi Government
Ms. Garima Gupta, IAS (AGMUT:2004), former Secretary (Cooperation), Delhi Government
Mr. Tanmay Kumar, IAS (RJ: 1993), Additional Secretary, M/o Environment, Forest and Climate Change
Although these IAS officers have come in the law-enforcement dragnet, their accomplices such as junior government officers at Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the office of Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS), police officers, local criminals in housing societies, and builders’ mafia members have not yet been caught.
Widehouse Corruption Scandal: The Widehouse Scandal report that I have recently compiled details the modus operandi of senior government officials and their accomplices in builders’ mafia who have been running the crime network in Delhi.
The report also reveals names of about 40 government functionaries, politicians, police officers, members of judiciary, and builders’ mafia companies involved in this crime racket of an estimated thousands of crores of rupees. [ You can click here to download and study the Widehouse Corruption Scandal report. ]
Appeal: In order to stop corruption in Delhi, these officials and their accomplices must be jailed as early as possible because their presence in the public poses a serious threat to the citizens who want to live in a corruption-free environment.
[ Note: The Exhibits mentioned above and a few other details are not being published in this editorial report, although they are part of the complaint that I sent to the authorities. ]
