LUCKNOW: The state government wants the probe into the Ansal API row to focus on what led to the alleged irregularities and which officials concerned overlooked gross anomalies in the project.

As the probe proceeds, the then officials of the Lucknow Development Authority and Housing Board are likely to face the heat as the project was launched in 2005 during their tenure.

Multi-level scrutiny of approval and finalisation of DPRs is likely to put in dock the then officials of the LDA who were looking into the project.

"If any LDA official is found involved in the case, then action will be taken against him also," said LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar.
