A Delhi court on Monday remanded Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s nephew, Vinay Bansal to police custody for two days in a case related to alleged scam in the Public Works Department.
Additional Sessions Judge Sanjay Khanagwal allowed Anti-Corruption Branch ’s (ACB) plea to interrogate Mr. Bansal in their custody.
The ACB had last year lodged three separate FIRs based on a complaint filed by a non-profit organisation against Mr. Kejriwal, his brother-in-law and a government official.
Rahul Sharma, founder of the Roads Anti-Corruption Organisation, had alleged irregularities in awarding of contracts for construction of roads and sewer lines by the Chief Minister, his brother-in-law late Surender Kumar Bansal, who was proprietor of Messrs Renu Construction, and P.K. Kathuria, then PWD Executive Engineer posted in north-west Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh.
Mr. Sharma had asked for a case to be lodged against them for cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy.
