Bureaucrat Ashish Joshi seeks graft probe against Kejriwal's secretary
New Delhi, June 16 (IBNS): Adding more troubles to the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi, senior bureaucrat Ashish Joshi has written to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) chief MK Meena against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's secretary Rajender Kumar accusing him of allegedly indulging in corruption.
Joshi has asked Meena to probe the role of Kumar when he was with departments of education, IT and Health of Delhi government.
In his complaint to Meena, Joshi alleged that Kumar, as director of Education (from May, 2002 to February, 2005) and later Secretary (IT), Secretary (Health) and Commissioner (VAT), had allegedly set up various companies to award work orders of departments without tenders which caused "financial loss" to the city's government, reports said.
Joshi is now working with Union IT Ministry.Support Our Journalism
