Mishra demands registration of cases against Lt Guv, ACB chief

New Delhi, Jul 5 () Delhi Water minister Kapil Mishra who has been questioned by Anti Corruption Branch(ACB) in connection with the alleged DJB water tanker "scam" today demanded registration of cases against Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and ACB chief MK Meena.
In a letter written to Jung, Mishra said that it was reported that the ACB in its FIR in the Water Tanker Management System had also included the objection of "delay" on the part of Delhi government in referring the alleged "scam" to it on a complaint of Leader of Opposition in Vidhan Sabha Vijender Gupta.
"If any alleged delay on part of the government in referring the matter to ACB, in pursuance to any report furnished to it by a committee, is sufficient cause of action for registering FIR then by the same analogy an FIR is required to be registered against ACB chief as well as Lt Governor(since ACB reports to him) for not taking action in the FIRs registered in 2014," the minister wrote.
Mishra who is chairman of the Delhi Jal (Board) referred to four FIRs registered in connection with Bhagirath WTP Rehab Project, Non AMR meter scam, AMR meter and CWG Streetlights scam in 2014.
He said there can not be separate laws for citizen in the country as all are equal before law in a democracy while "strongly recommending" FIR against Jung and Meena for allegedly "sitting over" the four cases for more than two years. VIT BUN RG
