CBI may expand ambit of probe against Kumar

CBI claimed to have got materials that indicate irregularities in the recruitment process done in Delhi government through ICSIL, and said it is contemplating to expand the ambit of probe against Rajendra Kumar, principal secretary to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. 

Agency sources said they had recovered four files pertaining to recruitment in the Delhi government. In one of the files pertaining to data entry operators’ recruitment, several pages were found to be missing. This prompted the agency to dig deep into the recruitment process.

CBI is currently probing five instances of alleged corruption against Kumar spanning over a period of five years from 2009 to 2014 when he served in the Delhi government in various capacities. 

The sources said probe may be expanded further and may involve much more officers and recruitment processes as well. 

They said nothing has been finalised and any further action will depend on details which might emerge during further questioning of Kumar.
