No info on MLA prosecution: Speaker

Goel also alleged that information on the matter was leaked to the media before it reached him or officers of the assembly.

Earlier this week, Raj Niwas officials said Lt Governor VK Saxena has referred a Vigilance Directorate request for the Delhi assembly speaker’s prosecution sanction in a case of corruption against Tripathi.

“I learnt from the media that the Lt Governor has referred the matter of prosecution sanction for criminal proceedings against Akhilesh Pati Tripathi under the Prevention of Corruption Act to me. You would be surprised to know that till date I have not received any communication from the LG seeking my sanction,” Goel said in a press conference.

No immediate reaction was available from Raj Niwas on the assembly speaker’s claim.
