AAP files complaint against LG with ACB

Chautala was convicted in a case relating to teachers’ recruitment in Haryana.

Party leaders Raghav Chadha, Dilip Pandey and Ashutosh reached ACB office and registered a complaint against the LG. In its complaint letter, AAP accused the LG of pressurising Delhi Home minister Satyendra Jain for considering Chautala’s parole earlier this month.

“A request is made by O P Chautala, seeking parole on medical grounds in October. Despite the Delhi government’s strong objection to any parole request and inability for entertaining such a request under the Parole Guidelines 2010, the LG exercised pressure on Jain, asking him to grant parole to the convict,” AAP leaders wrote in the complaint letter addressed to ACB chief.

“The reasons given by LG while pressurising the Home minister were that Chautala has been a five-time president of a political party and thereby, he should be granted parole,” the letter stated. AAP also accused the LG of allowing extension to Chautala’s parole in May.

“Chautala, on grounds to peruse the filing of SLP in Supreme Court, and maintain family ties, had filed a request for extension of parole in May. The Delhi government advises rejection of the parole, as it appears to be unwarranted since the convict had enjoyed a parole of many weeks in April,” the letter said.
