Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal on Friday said a probe will be launched for theft at the official residence allotted him.
He told reporters that he recently visited his residence allotted to him and found that items such as AC, telephone, lights, a bathroom mirror as well as taps and platforms in kitchen were missing.
Action will be taken against those involved, Jaiswal said, without naming anyone.
Jaiswal’s official residence was earlier allotted to Congress minister Shiv Kumar Dahariya, who demanded a public apology from Jaiswal over his statement.
The former minister said the Health Minister was trying to defame a Dalit leader. Before leaving the official residence, I had got an NOC from the all relevant departments, Dahariya added.
