The Rajasthan Police's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has initiated an investigation into the benami (proxy) properties linked to none other than the illustrious Kota Divisional Commissioner, Rajendra Vijay. A man whose primary duty, one would assume, is to serve the public—unless, of course, by “public,” we mean himself and his ever-growing fortune. Sources reveal that Vijay has been an overachiever, not just in public service, but also in mastering the fine art of hoarding wealth.

Adding a little flair to his legacy, his younger son’s NGO has also come under scrutiny, because why limit the family’s talent to just one generation? Suspicions have arisen that this NGO is not exactly the beacon of charity it purports to be, but rather a nifty little vehicle through which the officer’s dirty money was flowing. After all, if you’re going to channel illicit funds, why not do it through an organization meant for good deeds? It’s almost poetic, in a tragically corrupt way.

The real kicker, though, is that during recent searches, the ACB unearthed that this “humble” public servant owns at least 13 commercial and residential properties—because why stop at one when you can have a baker's dozen? His portfolio includes a prime showroom in Jaipur’s prestigious GT Galleria mall, a location more commonly associated with the city’s wealthy elite rather than those who supposedly serve the common folk. But then again, who says public service doesn’t come with perks?

Of course, this doesn’t all happen overnight. The ACB has been on Vijay's tail for months, approximately five months to be precise, since receiving a complaint that painted the officer as something of a real estate mogul rather than a mere government official. After a thorough investigation, the ACB finally filed a disproportionate assets case against him, because there’s only so long you can hide wealth under the pretense of public service before someone starts asking, "Wait, how much does an IAS officer really make?"

With the evidence stacking up, the ACB secured a search warrant on October 1 and wasted no time, conducting raids the very next day at four of his properties across Jaipur, Kota, and Dausa. But the real eyebrow-raiser came when the assets listed in Vijay’s Immovable Property Return (IPR)—a document meant to reflect his modest earnings—didn’t quite match up with his actual, well, empire. It’s almost as if Rajendra Vijay was trying to redefine the very meaning of "public servant"—to one who serves the public by amassing all its wealth for himself.

And now, with the financial records of his son’s NGO under intense scrutiny, it seems the family that "serves" together, stays together. At least, until the ACB knocks at the door.

The corruption saga surrounding IAS officer Rajendra Vijay takes yet another turn, as the NGO managed by his son, Sankalp Vijay, comes under scrutiny. Sankalp, who lives with the family at their residence on Tonk Road in Jaipur, now finds his organization embroiled in the ongoing investigation. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is digging deep into the NGO's financial records, suspecting that it may be a key player in the laundering of corrupt funds.

While the ACB has already identified several properties connected to the IAS officer and his family, the story doesn’t end there. Officials revealed that certain documents linked to additional assets had mysteriously vanished during the recent raids. The ACB, undeterred by this hiccup, remains determined to uncover these missing pieces of the puzzle. Their five-month-long investigation has provided them with enough leads to continue their search for further evidence.

The Director General of the ACB confirmed that both the benami properties and the NGO run by Sankalp Vijay are now at the heart of the investigation. With the spotlight firmly on these entities, the noose appears to be tightening around the family’s financial empire.

In a curious turn of events, the initial search conducted by the ACB hit an unexpected roadblock. "On the first day of the searches, which took place on Wednesday, the house was locked, and no one was present, so we sealed it." This unforeseen development delayed the process, but the ACB was not about to give up. However, their persistence paid off when on Friday, the father of the IAS officer, Ramkaran Vijay, arrived, allowing them to finally enter the house. "Nothing significant was found," a senior ACB official candidly admitted. It seems that while the search may not have yielded much on this occasion, the investigation is far from over.

And now, the focus shifts to something potentially even more revealing. The ACB has announced plans to open several lockers belonging to Vijay and his family members on Monday. "During our raids on Wednesday, we discovered documents indicating that Vijay and his family have some lockers. These will be opened on Monday," an ACB officer explained. With these lockers possibly holding the key to untangling the web of corruption, all eyes will be on the upcoming search, as it could bring new revelations to light.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is tightening its grip on IAS officer Rajendra Vijay’s web of corruption, and now even his staff members are being drawn into the fray. In addition to targeting Vijay and his family, the ACB is planning to question some of the officer’s close aides, including his driver. According to sources, the investigation has uncovered evidence that benami properties were purchased under the names of the driver and other staff members. It seems that Rajendra Vijay’s reach extends far beyond his own family, implicating even his employees in his questionable activities.

The revelations from the ACB’s raid on Wednesday are still making waves. It has now been confirmed that Vijay is the proud owner of at least 13 commercial and residential properties. Among these, the crown jewel is a showroom located in Jaipur's prestigious GT Galleria mall, known as one of the city’s most exclusive commercial areas. But that’s not all—the investigation has also turned its attention to an NGO run by Vijay's younger son, Sankalp Vijay, which has now become a central focus of the ongoing inquiry.

The ACB has left no stone unturned, conducting searches across multiple locations, including Jaipur, Kota, and Dausa. These searches have unearthed a treasure trove of documents, revealing ownership of 13 plots of land, all linked to Vijay. These properties are not your average pieces of real estate either. The findings include a luxurious bungalow in the posh colony on Tonk Road, a commercial luxury complex on C-Scheme Ashok Marg, and other valuable commercial plots in prime areas like Jagatpura. It appears Vijay’s real estate empire spans some of the most coveted areas of the city, raising serious questions about how a public servant could amass such wealth.

The ACB is now focusing its efforts on gathering further evidence, leaving no room for escape for those involved. Vijay’s network of corruption is slowly being peeled back, layer by layer, and it’s becoming clear that his staff may have played a key role in helping him expand his empire.

Documents Related to Judio's Showroom Recovered During ACB Raids

In a development that left the investigating officials stunned, documents related to a luxury complex connected to IAS officer Rajendra Vijay were recovered in Jaipur. The sheer scale of the operation became even clearer when these documents were uncovered, particularly because there had been considerable talk about this specific building during its construction. It seems that the rumors were not without foundation.

Further investigation revealed that Rajendra Vijay held accounts in 16 different banks—a surprising number for a public servant, raising questions about the need for so many accounts. But the discovery of these accounts was just the tip of the iceberg. The raids also uncovered Rs 2,22,000 in cash, 335 grams of gold jewelry, 11 kg 800 grams of silver, and three four-wheelers. The list of his assets seemed never-ending. Documents related to a showroom of Judio in Jaipur were also found among the piles of evidence, adding yet another layer to Vijay's growing web of unexplained wealth.

As the ACB continues to dig, it appears Vijay was not just content with real estate and gold. He has also invested in multiple insurance policies, further complicating the investigation. The bank locker mentioned earlier still remains unopened, leaving room for even more potential discoveries. One can only imagine what else might be lurking inside.

ACB Received Inputs Four Months Ago

The anti-corruption case against IAS officer Rajendra Vijay did not spring up overnight. ACB Director General Dr. Ravi Prakash Mehrada revealed to the media that the intelligence branch of the ACB had received inputs four months ago regarding Vijay’s dubious dealings. According to the intel, the officer had accumulated crores of rupees through corruption during his time in government service. Instead of serving the public as his position demands, he was allegedly busy investing in high-end properties across the city’s most expensive areas.

After the initial tip-off, DIG Kaluram Rawat registered a case following thorough verification, ensuring there was enough evidence to justify the case. The investigation was then handed over to Additional SP Pushpendra Singh Rathore, who wasted no time in forming a team and obtaining a court warrant. Armed with this legal backing, the ACB launched a series of raids on Wednesday, October 2. The raids took place at four locations in Jaipur, Kota, and Dausa, uncovering a treasure trove of assets and documents, including those linked to Judaism.

As the investigation progresses, the scale of Vijay's operations continues to astonish both the authorities and the public. The documents, cash, and gold recovered are only scratching the surface of what appears to be a well-planned network of corruption that spans various sectors, including real estate and insurance.

Promoted to IAS in 2020: The Rise and Fall of Rajendra Vijay

Rajendra Vijay’s career began in 1991 as a Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) officer. After nearly three decades of service, he was finally promoted to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 2020, receiving placement in the 2010 batch. His rise seemed smooth—at least on the surface. Most recently, he was appointed as the Divisional Commissioner of Kota on 22 September, taking charge on 25 September. However, his time in that role was remarkably brief. Just seven days after assuming office, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had him APO (Awaiting Posting Order). Before this appointment in Kota, Vijay had a short-lived stint as the Executive Director of RUDSICO (Rajasthan Urban Drinking Water Sewerage and Infrastructure Corporation) starting on 5 September, where he served for just 17 days.

His resume also boasts roles as the Collector of Baran and Balotra, prestigious positions in Rajasthan’s administrative structure. But despite his official duties, his personal actions are now under intense scrutiny. Rajendra Vijay hails from Dubbi village in Dausa, and the ACB’s investigation has taken them to his ancestral home as well. When the team arrived at the house, they found it deserted. With no family members present, the ACB was left with no choice but to seal the property, delaying further searches until a family member is available.

Now, the authorities are shifting their focus to the next stage of the investigation. The value of his properties will be evaluated based on the documents recovered so far. This appraisal will lay the groundwork for what comes next—detailed interrogations aimed at uncovering the full extent of his financial activities.

Big Investments in Wife’s Name: A Family Affair

During his short tenure in Kota's Circuit House, Vijay made a choice that only adds to the growing questions surrounding him. Instead of moving into government accommodation, he opted to stay at the Circuit House, where the ACB conducted its search. The operation lasted an exhausting nine hours, revealing even more about the officer’s financial dealings. Among the most significant discoveries was that Rajendra Vijay’s wife has made substantial investments in her name.

These investments go beyond simple savings or assets; she runs a trading and textile business through a registered firm. It seems that while Vijay’s own financial activities have drawn the ACB’s attention, his wife has also been building a separate empire in the shadows. Meanwhile, their son Sankalp continues to run the family’s NGO, which is now part of the ongoing corruption investigation.

As the ACB continues its investigation, more revelations are expected to emerge. The pieces are slowly coming together, painting a picture of not just an individual, but a family deeply entrenched in questionable financial dealings.
