The Delhi Government's Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) has sought additional details from Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders about the complaint filed by them against Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and former PWD Minister Satyendar Jain.
The Delhi BJP in its complaint had accused Sisodia and Jain of being involved in a Rs 2,000 crore scam in the construction of classrooms and school buildings.
The complaint was apparently filed by the Delhi BJP’s media relations head Harish Khurana and a leader of the saffron party's Delhi unit, Neelkant Bakshi, on July 2, 2019 with the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), New Delhi district, who subsequently forwarded it to the ACB for further investigation. The ACB has also sought certain details from former Karawal Nagar MLA Kapil Mishra, who is also a Delhi BJP leader.
“We have not initiated a probe in the matter. It is a long due process and we have sought a clarification from the complainant about the accusations levelled against the other party," a senior official said.
The ACB has asked the complainant to furnish the details and documents pertaining to the matter.
“Furnish the details and documents, which prima facie reveal that Manish Sisodia, Minister of Education, Satyendar Jain, Minister of PWD, and others derived undue advantage for self or other person. Furnish the specific details or documents of the recommendation made or decision taken by the Ministers and public, which relate to the purported offence," stated the letter dated May 23.
