In response to a court directive in Uttarakhand's Almora town, an FIR has been officially lodged against Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar and his subordinate YVVJ Rajasekhar. This legal action stems from a complaint filed by an NGO, Pleasant Valley Foundation, which alleged serious misconduct on the part of these officials.

On March 2, the court admitted a complaint filed by an NGO against the officials and asked the revenue police to register a case against them and investigate the charges.

According to the complaint, the accused officials sent four people to a school run by an NGO in Dadakada village on February 14 where they reportedly ransacked the office chamber of the NGO's joint secretary, forcibly seizing crucial files, records, and documents. These materials allegedly contained evidence linking the accused to various scams and corrupt activities.
