A Delhi court on Monday reserved for next week its order on a criminal complaint seeking lodging of FIR against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, his brother-in-law and a public servant for alleged irregularities in grant of contracts for roads and sewer lines here.
Metropolitan Magistrate Abhilash Malhotra listed the plea for February 2 after hearing submissions of the counsel for the complainant who alleged "deep-rooted corruption" and said the documents showed no material was actually purchased for completing the work.
The court was hearing the complaint filed by Rahul Sharma, founder of Roads Anti-Corruption Organisation (RACO), in which officers of Delhi government's PWD, Kejriwal and his brother-in-law Surender Kumar Bansal, proprietor of a construction firm, were accused of corruption and an FIR was sought to be lodged against them for alleged offences including cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy under the IPC.
Advocate Kislay Pandey, who filed the plea on behalf of the complainant, claimed that the documents showed no materials were actually purchased and documents in this connection were "concocted and forged" by them, causing a loss of over Rs 10 crore to the public exchequer.
