AAP calls it a politically motivated move; BJP demands Kejriwal's role be probed.

AAP Leaders Sisodia & Jain Booked on Rs 2,000 Cr Corruption Charges

The Delhi government's Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has filed a case against AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain over alleged corruption in the construction of 12,748 classrooms under the Arvind Kejriwal-led government, an official said on Wednesday.

The alleged scam is pegged at around Rs 2,000 crore and involved awarding contracts at highly-inflated rates with classrooms in government-run schools reportedly built at Rs 24.86 lakh each, nearly five times the usual cost, the ACB said in a statement.

The project was allegedly awarded to contractors linked with the Aam Aadmi Party when Sisodia served as the education minister and Jain as the PWD minister.

The case was registered after receiving the requisite sanction under Section 17-A of the PC Act from the competent authority, it read.
