Arvind Kejriwal says Satyendar Jain arrested at BJP's 'behest': 'Lies will be exposed again'
Arvind Kejriwal's reaction came as Satyender Jain was arrested on Tuesday over alleged corruption in Delhi Jal Board tenders.
Delhi AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has accused the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of arresting former minister Satyender Jain at the "behest of the BJP" over a 2024 Delhi Jal Board (DJB) corruption case. Kejriwal, who backed Jain, said the allegations will be "proven fake" like Jain's previous acquittal in another corruption case. The ACB arrested Jain and four others, including former DJB CEO Udit Prakash Rai, on charges of corruption in DJB tenders, including manipulation of tender conditions and criminal conspiracy.
The FIR was registered in May 2024 under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
