Centre declares Kejriwal's inquiry into DDCA corruption illegal

New Delhi, Jan 8 (IBNS) In a new development in the running battle between the Centre and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, an inquiry initiated by the Delhi government into alleged corruption in the DDCA has been declared unconstitutional, reports said.

The union Home Ministry has said the inquiry launched weeks ago by the Delhi government is illegal because it does not have the jurisdiction to look into the affairs of the DDCA.

Kejriwal in December appointed former Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium to investigate the alleged corruption in the cricket body of which Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was the President from 2000 to 2013.

Kejriwal accused Jaitley of facilitating the massive corruption during his tenure and the latter sued the Chief Minister on defamation ground.

A committee of three members, also appointed by  Kejriwal's government to study the DDCA, did not mention  Jaitley in a nearly 250-page report that it submitted last month. Its findings were treated by the Chief Minister as a preliminary assessment; he then tasked Mr Subramanium to investigate the matter in detail.
