In a move set to heat up political discourse in the Capital, the Delhi Government’s Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has decided to reopen the CNG fitness scam case of 2002, in which some top officers of the then Sheila Dikshit regime were accused of extending favours to a few companies issuing fitness certificates to CNG vehicles.
The ACB had registered a case in 2012 into the scam, running into Rs.100 crore, but the probe did not make headway as the Aam Aadmi Party Government resigned after a 49-day stint. The probe agency reportedly could not get full details of the case, though Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced that it would provide documents pertaining to the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
In December last year, AAP had raised the issue of the scam and questioned the silence of the Union Government and Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on the alleged involvement of top bureaucrats in the matter.
