Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Parvesh Verma on Friday filed a complaint with ACB against Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, alleging corruption concerning Delhi Sports University (DSU).
Verma, who is contesting Delhi polls from the New Delhi seat against Kejriwal, in his complaint alleged “corrupt misappropriation of public funds” through “the abuse of official positions to gain wrongful benefits”.
The complaint has been filed with the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of the Delhi government.
Verma’s advocate, Vivek Garg, told ANI that this was “a huge fraud” with the students of Delhi and a complaint has been filed with the ACB on behalf of the BJP candidate.
“This is a huge fraud where Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers have embezzled Rs 48 crore on paper for which our team of lawyers have filed a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Branch on behalf of Parvesh Verma… the location he (Kejriwal) has mentioned does not even have a brick. This is a huge fraud with the students of Delhi…,” Garg said.
“Such expenditure requires the approval of the Cabinet, which includes the Finance Minister and the Education Minister and so they are all involved in this case… DCP Madam has assured us that there will be a fair investigation, and a high-level investigation of the case will start immediately… We have filed a complaint with RTI evidence…,” he added.
Verma had earlier filed a formal complaint with the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) against Kejriwal, a former Delhi Chief Minister, and other officials for alleged corruption in the installation of CCTV cameras in the New Delhi Assembly Constituency.
