Dalit officer threatened, Maya orders probe

IANS

FORCED TO ACT: Chief Minister's party faces embarrassment because of
allegation against MLA.
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati Sunday ordered a probe
into the resignation of an executive engineer, who accused a ruling
BSP legislator of extortion bids and threatening him, an official said
here.

The enquiry into the allegations levelled by executive engineer Shiv
Das, a Dalit, has been entrusted to state Principal Secretary
(Irrigation) K S Atoria, a government spokesperson told IANS. Shiv Das
resigned Saturday night.

In his resignation addressed to Mayawati, Shiv Das alleged that
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislator B R Ambedkar, who represents
Lakhna assembly constituency in Etawah district, was threatening to
eliminate him if he failed to meet his extortionist demands.

The legislator was also alleged to have warned the officer that he
would meet the same fate as Manoj Kumar Gupta, an executive engineer
of the Public Works Department (PWD) who was allegedly beaten to death
by a BSP legislator and his goons in neighbouring Auraiya district in
2008.
