The woman sarpanch of Chani Badi on the other hand claims that they had posted the correct reply to the RTI petitioners. The woman sarpanch of the petitioners’ village Chani Badi in Bhadra tehsil has filed a complaint with the State Women Commission against the RTI petitioners, claiming that the video showing condoms as the reply to the RTI query is doctored, with the aim to malign her reputation. The two teams — one at district level and another at block level, are probing separately so we get a fair conclusion. Jaipur: The case of two RTI petitioners from Hanumangarh who received condoms in an envelope, allegedly posted by the gram panchayat, instead of a reply, has now taken another twist. Most likely, whoever sent the condoms was trying to create mischief due to personal animosity.”

Jaipur: The case of two RTI petitioners from Hanumangarh who received condoms in an envelope, allegedly posted by the gram panchayat, instead of a reply, has now taken another twist. The woman sarpanch of the petitioners’ village Chani Badi in Bhadra tehsil has filed a complaint with the State Women Commission against the RTI petitioners, claiming that the video showing condoms as the reply to the RTI query is doctored, with the aim to malign her reputation. The district administration has also formed teams at district as well as block level to investigate the matter.Navneet Kumar, chief executive officer (CEO) of Hanumangarh Jila Parishad told TOI, “The petitioners had filed an RTI query with the gram panchayat, asking for details of the development projects undertaken since 2001 and alleged that they received condoms instead. The woman sarpanch of Chani Badi on the other hand claims that they had posted the correct reply to the RTI petitioners. She has filed a complaint against the petitioners with the State Women Commission, stating that this incident has taken place only to tarnish her image.”The matter came into limelight when the two RTI petitioners — Vikas Choudhary and Manohar Lal, stated that last week, instead of the requisite reply, they received used condoms wrapped in a newspaper, which was apparently posted by the gram panchayat.The district administration of Hanumangarh has started an enquiry into the matter and Kumar said, “We are looking into the matter to find the source behind this incident. There are two teams of our officials who are talking to all the stakeholders to get a clearer picture, and we will get the report in the next couple of days. The two teams — one at district level and another at block level, are probing separately so we get a fair conclusion. Most likely, whoever sent the condoms was trying to create mischief due to personal animosity.”
