“Justice Delayed or Served? Court Clears VK Janjua, Former Punjab Chief Secretary, of 14-Year-Old Corruption Charges”

Chandigarh: The old saying that a lie has no legs is absolutely correct. This is to say of former Punjab Chief Secretary VK Janjua, who was given relief by the First Class Magistrate in the district court of Chandigarh in the old corruption case, terming the whole case as fabricated on the basis of criminal conspiracy and false evidence.

The truth came out on the basis of details and location of mobile calls.

Addressing the media at Chandigarh Press Club on Saturday, VK Janjua said that a corruption case was registered against him on November 9, 2009, after which the judicial magistrate of the district court ruled that the case was a criminal conspiracy. And the evidence was falsified.

The former chief secretary said it took him eight years to get the court order.

He said that all the evidence was based on phone call records which were later proved to be fake. He said that he has also taken the help of a lawyer for this case.

Didn’t take it and fought the whole case himself. He said that he is honest and truthful, so he did not find it difficult to fight his case, whereas on the other hand, the case was raised only on the basis of lies.

 Janjua said that when he extracted the call records and investigated himself, it was found that the whole matter was fake.

Janjua said, as per the FIR, it was alleged that the complainant (TR Mishra, an industrialist) met him at his Mohali residence at 9 am, but he was in Ludhiana at that time. Later, the complainant told the court that Janjua was not present at his house.He said that a DSP of Punjab Police was also a part of this conspiracy. He alleged that the complainant had a plot in Ludhiana and was then the Director of Industries. He said that the complainant had approached him to allot the plot but he refused to do so as it was not possible.

Because of which he started hating her.

It is noteworthy that on November 9, 2009, a case was registered against him by the officials of the State Vigilance Bureau. Janjua was then working as Director of Industries in Punjab.

But later due to his honesty and truthfulness, he was posted as the biggest officer of Punjab state.
