Former Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain, ex-DJB CEO among six arrested in STP projects tender case
The other accused arrested are Ankit Srivastava, a former contractual consultant with the DJB, and private persons Nagendra Yadav, Raja Kumar Kurra and Pankaj Verma, the ACB said in a statement.
Six individuals, including former Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and ex-Delhi Jal Board CEO Udit Prakash Rai, have been arrested by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in connection with a corruption case involving the tendering process for sewage treatment plant projects of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). The case, registered on May 11, 2024, alleges large-scale irregularities, manipulation of tender conditions, and criminal conspiracy.
The investigation found that the tendering process contained restrictive technical specifications and conditions favoring Euroteck Environment Pvt Ltd, limiting competition and providing an undue advantage to the private entity. The ACB also alleged that substantial amounts were transferred to Rai and his relatives through intermediary entities, which will be further examined as part of the ongoing investigation.
