IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal is currently abroad while his wife, IPS officer Prashakha Mathur, has been placed on an APO following allegations in a villa scam. The move comes as authorities investigate the alleged misuse of property.
The Indian Administrative Service officer Shikhar Agrawal is reportedly abroad as investigations into a villa scam unfold. His wife, Prashakha Mathur, an Indian Police Service officer, has been placed on an APO (Administrative Police Order) in connection with the case.
The APO order, issued by the relevant authorities, restricts Mathur’s movements and requires her to report regularly to the police. It is a standard procedure when officials are suspected of involvement in corruption or property-related scams.
Details of the alleged villa scam remain limited, but the placement of Mathur on APO signals the seriousness with which the investigation is being pursued. Agrawal’s current overseas posting has not been disclosed, but it has attracted media attention amid the allegations.
Both officers have yet to issue a formal statement. The case is expected to progress as more evidence is examined by the investigative agencies.
