New Delhi. Taking a step forward in its investigation into alleged financial irregularities within the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet in the court against four individuals and a company.
The next hearing of this case is scheduled to be held by the Delhi Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on April 1. The court will likely decide whether to take cognizance of the 140-page chargesheet with up to 8,000 pages of documents.
This is a case of alleged corruption in the tender for purchase of flow meter. According to sources, the charge sheet includes former DJB chief engineer Jagdish Kumar Arora, contractor Anil Kumar Aggarwal, former NBCC general manager D.K. The names of Mittal, Tejinder Singh and director of NKG Infrastructure Limited, who have passed away, are included. However, he has not been made an accused in the case.
The ED has alleged that the bribe money taken in the case was given to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as election fund.
An FIR of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case claims that a contract worth Rs 38 crore was given to NKG Infrastructure Limited without meeting the technical eligibility criteria. Bribe was taken in return.
