New Delhi : A case was registered by Delhi’s Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) on Monday in connection with the alleged 400-crore water tanker scam linking former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
ACB chief M K Meena said two complaints were received withregard to the scam and those named in the complaints include Dikshit and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He said both Dikshit and Kejriwal will be quizzed. “An FIR has been registered under relevant sections of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act and both of them will be quizzed,” Meena said. Last week, the Delhi government had sent a report of a fact-finding committee on the scam to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung.
Delhi BJP leader Vijender Gupta had also filed a complaint with Jung accusing Kejriwal of “suppressing” the committee’s report for 11 months, reports PTI.
The Lt Governor had forwarded the committee’s report as well as Gupta’s complaint to the ACB. Last week, Delhi’s Water Minister Kapil Mishra had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jung recommending either CBI or ACB probe against Dikshit in connection with alleged scam.
