After this, on the complaint of Vimal Negi's wife, a case of harassment including inciting suicide was registered against the officials of the Power Corporation. Regarding the Vimal Negi death case, his wife Kiran Negi and his family members have made serious allegations like inciting suicide and murder against the officials of the Energy Corporation.
A 10-member CBI team has come from Delhi. ASI Pankaj is accused that when Vimal Negi's body was recovered, he took out a pen drive from his pocket and tampered with it.

CBI is also investigating on whose orders the suspended ASI Pankaj tampered with the evidence, because Pankaj was neither a part of the SIT nor was he involved in this case. The matter gained momentum after Vimal Negi's body was found in Gobind Sagar lake in Bilaspur district on 18 March.
After Vimal Negi went missing, his wife Kiran Negi had written a letter to Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu accusing the then MD of HP Power Corporation Harikesh Meena, Director Deshraj and other senior officials of harassing her husband.
