Khan urged the Centre to initiate action against those NHAI officials, contractors and technical experts who looted public money.

He said he had written a letter to Minister of Surface Transport T R Baalu seeking action against all those named by Dubey in his letter to the office of the then prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee [ Images ].

Dubey was killed on November 27, 2003 in Gaya after he wrote to the PMO about a nexus between local politicians and contractors in the Golden Quadrilateral project in Bihar.

The 32-year-old was a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology and was working on the project.
