Lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung on Thursday forwarded to the Anti-Corruption Bureau a report of a fact-finding panel on the alleged Rs 400-crore water tanker scam linking former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit for further investigation. The report by a committee of the Delhi Jal Board was sent to Mr Jung by the AAP government for probe by either CBI or Delhi’s anti-corruption branch following persistent demand by the city BJP leader Vijender Gupta.
Mr Jung has also forwarded to ACB a complaint filed with him by Mr Gupta accusing chief minister Arvind Kejriwal of “suppressing” the committee’s report into the tanker scam for 11 months.
Water minister Kapil Mishra on June 12 had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Jung recommending either CBI or ACB probe against Ms Dikshit in connection with alleged water tanker scam.
“L-G has forwarded the committee’s report to the ACB for appropriate action in the matter. He has also forwarded Mr Gupta’s complaint that the Delhi chief minister suppressed the report of the fact-finding committee for 11 months,” the government sources said.
Mr Mishra on Thursday said that the former Delhi CM should be behind the bars for alleged corruption and that she was not facing any action, as BJP was not keen to punish the guilty.
“We have filed three FIRs against her for various corruption cases and one in depth enquiry report which is with ACB now. My report exposing corruption by Shiela Dikshit has been forwarded to ACB,” he said.
