Delhi L-G VK Saxena on Saturday approved investigation under the Prevention of Corruption (PoC) Act against jailed former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain in a bribery case.
Satyendar Jain has been accused of receiving a bribe of ₹7 crore in connection with a ₹571 crore project for the installation of CCTVs in 70 Assembly constituencies.
The L-G has agreed with the proposal of DoV to refer the matter under Section 17 A of the PoC Act, 1998 to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for approving an investigation against Jain by ACB, said Delhi LG office.
Reacting to it, AAP leader Atishi claimed that the BJP is engaged in conspiracy against the Delhi government day and night.
“More than 200 cases were filed against Aam Aadmi Party leaders in 10 years. But to date, not a single rupee of corruption has been recovered from anywhere. Now this is another fake case. BJP wants to paralyze the Delhi government,” she added.
