Bengaluru: Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) Officer K. Mathai has filed a complaint before the Karnataka Lokayukta against four IAS Officers for allegedly harassing him. He has alleged that ‘IAS mafia’ has been harassing him and has named four IAS officers — two Additional Chief Secretaries and two Principal Secretary-rank officials — in his complaint.
Mathai had submitted the complaint to Chief Secretary Subhash Chandra Khuntia on April 10, and yesterday, he submitted it to Lokayukta Justice P. Vishwanath Shetty. “The Lokayukta has jurisdiction over grievance redressal in the State. Since there is no separate grievance redressal forum for Government officials, I had to seek redressal from the Lokayukta,” he said, defending his action.
