Ashok Khemka is a 1991 batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of the Haryana cadre, renowned for his unwavering stand against corruption and his extraordinary record of frequent transfers. Over his 34-year career, he was transferred 57 times, often after exposing irregularities in various departments. He gained national prominence in 2012 for cancelling the mutation of a land deal involving Robert Vadra and DLF, citing it as a 'sham' facilitated by political influence. Despite facing numerous challenges, including multiple charge sheets and postings to low-profile departments, Khemka remained steadfast in his commitment to integrity and transparency in governance.
