A delegation of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators met Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal on Wednesday and demanded a probe into an alleged scam of getting jobs with the Delhi government by furnishing fake Scheduled Tribes (ST) certificates.
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Vijender Gupta said the L-G had asked the Special Branch to look into the matter and submit a report in 10 days. “Government departments in Delhi and other States were involved in the scam in which general category candidates got jobs using fake ST certificates,” Mr. Gupta alleged.
“The matter was brought to the knowledge of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy, but no action has been taken so far,” he added.
