Jaipur :
Complying with a court directive, police on Monday registered a case against the former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje in a case of land allotment to a trust headed by her, accusing her of cheating, criminal conspiracy and breach of trust.
Besides Raje, police registred FIR against former Urban Development and Housing minister Pratap Singh Singhvi, former city mayor Ashok Parnami, former Housing Board chairman Ajay Pal Singh , former state BJP president Lalit Kishore Chaturvedi and Jaipur Development Auhtority Commissioner, sources said.
The case has been registered under 420 (cheating), 409 (criminal breach of trust by a public servant or a banker or merchant agent) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC against Raje and others, they said.
The district and session court here had on Friday ordered registration of the FIR on a petition moved by a lawyer Shree Krishna Kukkad, accusing the erstwhile Raje government of alloting the land to the Deen Dayal Upadhay Trust, of which she was Chairperson, in violation of rules in July 2006.
