His name is Ashok Khemka.
IIT Kharagpur. PhD from TIFR. IAS 1991 batch.
In 2012 he was Director General of Land Consolidation in Haryana.
He found a land deal where Robert Vadra’s company bought 3.5 acres in Gurugram for Rs 7.5 crore and sold it to DLF for Rs 58 crore within weeks.
700 percent profit. No physical development. Fraudulent mutation approvals.
He cancelled the deal and declared it illegal.
Within 10 days he was transferred.
That was transfer number 1 of 57.
57 transfers in 34 years. One every 6 months.
Every time he exposed corruption in a new department he was moved to a less significant one.
Archives. Archaeology. Printing and Stationery.
His batchmates became Secretaries to the Government of India.
He was sent to manage old records.
He posted on X after his 53rd transfer.
The reward for honesty is humiliation.
He retired in April 2025 as Additional Chief Secretary.
He never became Chief Secretary.
No medal. No recognition.
Just 57 punishments for doing his job.
In Panchkula, near the Khair forest area, more than 10,000 trees were cut overnight using silent cutters.
Khair wood is expensive, and the logs were transported on camels.
To avoid suspicion, the remaining stumps were burned.
This came to the notice of a forest guard named Vijay Kumar.
He said his father was a gardener, and seeing trees being cut felt like losing a part of his own family.
He raised a complaint with the forest minister.
But instead of action, he was suspended.
He is now sitting on a protest alone.
All this is happening in Haryana, where forest cover is already very low, around 3.25 percent.
So far, the issue has received very little media attention.
