A Delhi court has sent former Delhi water minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendra Jain and four others accused in a Delhi Jal Board related corruption case being investigated by the Delhi government’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to 14-day judicial custody while one of the accused and DJB employee Ankit Shrivastava was sent to two days in ACB’s custody.
Kejriwal also questioned the arrest move and claimed that he was arrested following the direction of Union home minister Amit Shah. Jain and other accused were produced by the ACB at the Rouse Avenue Court earlier today.
An application to declare Jain’s arrest as illegal was also dismissed by the court.
Its investigation found that the tender contained restrictive technical specifications and conditions that allegedly favoured Euroteck Environment, a particular technology provider, thereby limiting competition and giving the company an undue advantage, according to ACB.
