CBI arrests Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s principal secretary Rajendra Kumar

Kumar has been booked under charges of criminal conspiracy and corruption for allegedly favouring a private company in five contracts worth Rs 9.5 crore between 2007 and 2014. CBI says that there is a strong evidence of quid pro quo against Rajender Kumar.

Earlier on December 16, 2015, the CBI had carried out searches at the Delhi Secretariat saying it was investigating corruption charges against Kumar. However, Kejriwal claimed that his office was also raided, and linked it to a probe he had ordered against finance minister Arun Jaitley.

 According to the first information report, Rajendra Kumar promoted a company, Endeavour System Pvt. Ltd. from 2007, by allegedly misusing his official position and facilitated tenders worth Rs.9.5 crore to the company.
