The Uttar Pradesh cadre officer was posted in the external affairs ministry three months ago.

The IAS officer allegedly acquired assets worth Rs.3.15 crore in her name as well as in her mother’s name, the official said.
External Affairs ministry spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said: “It is understood that the CBI conducted some investigations yesterday (Friday), in the apartment of K. Dhanlakshmi. The apartment was allotted to her during her brief tenure in the external affairs ministry.”
