Police to probe allegation that Arvind Kejriwal accepted Rs 2 crore
Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra alleged he
was an "eyewitnessto colleague Satyendra Jain handing over Rs 2 crore
to Kejriwal.
A day after the Aam Aadmi Party dismissed sacked Delhi minister
Kapil Mishra's allegations against Arvind Kejriwal of taking money as
"baseless", the Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has forwarded
the complaint to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The ACB has been instructed to submit its report within seven days.
Kapil
Mishra also said he would share all "evidence" in connection with the
alleged water tanker scam, including that against two close aides of the
chief minister, with the Anti-Corruption Branch on Monday.
Mishra
also claimed that a "few AAP members" have told him that Kejriwal has
made up his mind to "sack (Health Minister) Satyendar Jain" by the
coming Wednesday.
In his earlier press conference, Mishra alleged he was an "eyewitness" to Jain handing over Rs 2 crore to Kejriwal.
Mishra said he would be at the ACB office at 11 am on Monday.
He
questioned the "inaction" over a report submitted by him to Kejriwal in
August 2015 on the alleged Rs 400 crore water tanker scam during the tenure of the Sheila Dikshit government.
Deputy Chief Minister
Manish Sisosia scoffed at Mishra's charges. "Is there any proof? These
are not allegations, they are jokes,"
The Karawal Nagar
MLA did not elaborate whether he would share details on his sensational
claim that he saw "Kejriwal taking Rs 2 crore cash from Jain" with the
ACB.
"Why was no action taken based on the report for a year? Who
were responsible? I will share details of the involvement of two people
who work in official capacity with Kejriwal with the ACB.
"Secondly,
several party members have told me that Kejriwal has made up his mind
to sack Jain in the next two- three days and preparations are on to get
his resignation by Wednesday," he told reporters.
Through his
tenure as a minister, Mishra has repeatedly flogged the scam, relating
to alleged irregularities in hiring of private tankers to supply water,
which he claimed involves Dikshit and even a "few people in the AAP
government".
Kejriwal had constituted a fact-finding committee to
probe the allegations in June 2015. The report was submitted in August
2015, recommending an FIR against Dikshit.
The then Lt Governor
Najeeb Jung had forwarded it to the Anti-Corruption Branch, which in
turn had registered FIRs against both Dikshit and Mishra
