Stating
that all aspects of the 400-crore water tanker scam of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) are being analysed, the Anti
Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday said that it would very soon question all
accused, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his predecessor Sheila
Dikshit.
ACB chief
M.K. Meena told ANI that they have received two complaints
- one from Delhi's Water Minister Kapil Mishra and another from BJP leader
Vijender Gupta - related to the scam, adding an FIR has been registered under
relevant Sections of the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act against
Kejriwal and Dikshit on the basis of their complaints.
"We
have received a complaint from Kapil Mishra ji and Vijender Gupta ji in 400
crores water scam. After analysing all prospects, we have registered criminal
case against all accused. The investigation is going on, action will be taken
as per the law and all those who are involved will be questioned very
soon," Meena said.
"We
will even question Arvind Kejriwal and Sheila Dikshit because they have been named in the
complaints," he added.
Earlier
this month, the AAP Government sent a report of a fact-finding committee on the
scam to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.
BJP's
Vijender Gupta said in his complaint to the LG that Kejriwal had
suppressed the report in connection with the water scam for
11 months. Later, Jung forwarded the committee's report as well as Gupta's
complaint to the ACB.
Last week,
Delhi Water Minister Mishra wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the LG,
recommending either a CBI or ACB probe
against Dikshit in this regard.
