New Delhi: The CBI seems to have closed the investigation into the case against the appointment of Soumya Jain, daughter of health minister Satyendar Jain, as an adviser to the state government on its mohalla clinic project. Sources claimed that during the probe, the top investigating agency in the country did not find any important evidence based on which they can carry out criminal proceedings against the minister's daughter.
Sources added that the investigation officer (IO) did not find enough evidence to suggest that Somya had taken benefits from her appointment. Then, the IO recommended that there was no need to convert the initial enquiry into a regular case (FIR) after which the decision was taken.
The LG office had earlier recommended a CBI probe in the matter after she was appointed an advisor in the health department. The CBI has registered a preliminary enquiry (PE) in the appointment of Saumya Jain, AAP minister Satyendar Jain's daughter, as an advisor to Delhi government on its Mohalla Clinic project in the year 2017.
The PE included the names of unknown officials from Delhi Government and also the then MD of the health department Tarun Seem. It was also alleged that after seeing the biodata, Somya had no experience in the health sector as she was an architect.
