Rajasthan Govt Places IAS Officer Shikhar Agrawal & Wife on APO

The Rajasthan government announced that IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal and his wife, an IPS officer, have been placed on the Annual Pay Order (APO). The decision comes after reports that the couple acquired 40 villas over a period of 2.5 years, raising questions about the use of public funds. In a statement, officials said the placement was part of a review of the purchase records and a response to the concerns raised by the media and public. No further details were released about the terms of the APO or any disciplinary action. The move is seen as an attempt to address the controversy while maintaining administrative stability.
