New Delhi: The Anti-Corruption Bureau on Thursday arrested Vinay Bansal, son of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s brother-in- law Surender Kumar Bansal in connection with PWD scam.
In 2017, three separate FIRs were lodged on the basis of a complaint filed by Rahul Sharma, founder of Roads Anti-Corruption Organisation (RACO), alleging irregularities in the grant of contracts for roads and sewer lines in Delhi in 2015-16.
Rahul Sharma alleged that Kejriwal and PWD Minister Satyendra Jain misused their offices for grant of contracts to Bansal. However, they were not named in the FIR.
RACO, an organisation which claims to monitor construction projects in the national capital, alleged that Bansal sent “false and fabricated” bills to PWD for the works, which were not completed.
As per sources, “the arrest was made after the investigators found during their investigation that fake bills were attached for materials that weren’t even supplied and some of the bills were of companies that do not exist or supply those materials. The company — Mahadev Impex Company – with whom they claimed that they had taken materials does not exists and when Vinay was questioned about it, he refused to provide any details.”
