However, the ACB unearthed a major scam in the Civil Supplies Department earlier this year and “selective leaks” that were made to the media regarding the scam, put the government on back foot as the allegations of involvement were made against members of the Chief Minister’s family.The ACB had also indicted senior IAS officer Alok Shukla and Anil Tuteja in the civil supplies scam.
