Delhi lt-Governor Anil Baijal has asked principal secretary of vigilance to take action as per rules in a plea seeking prosecution sanction against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged PWD scam.
last month, the Anti-Corruption Branch had lodged three separate FIRs on the basis of a complaint filed by founder of Roads Anti-Corruption Organisation (RACO) Rahul Sharma alleging irregularities in grant of contracts for roads and sewer lines in Delhi in 2015-16.
One of the FIRs has been registered against the company of Kejriwal's late brother-in-law Surender Kumar Bansal, even as the Delhi chief minister has not been named in any of those. On June 7, Sharma had filed an application to the l-G seeking prosecution sanction pertaining to these FIRs against Kejriwal and the executive engineer of the PWD under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
