The chargesheet published in the government Public Relations Department website said it was prima facie found that Sooraj has committed an offence under Section 13(1)(e), read with 13(2) under Prevention of Corruption Act and hence the charges had been framed.
He was suspended when he was holding the charge of secretary in Public Works Department in November 2014.
This is the first time that disciplinary action against an IAS officer is being released publicly, it was stated.
It also asked Sooraj to submit his reply within 15 days.
