Rajender Kumar was on Wednesday again questioned by the CBI in connection with a corruption case.
The CBI on Wednesday spoke to the media to address all the allegations made by AAP on Tuesday after the agency raided the CM's Office in corruption case. CBI spokesperson Devpreet Singh said that the raids were conducted as per procedure and that the office of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was neither searched nor sealed.
"Blatant incorrect information is being spread by certain quarters since yesterday to discredit agency with intent to obstruct investigation. CBI categorically denies having seized any material during searches which are not relevant to investigation. Seizures during searches at all places were in presence of independent witnesses,as per procedure."
Singh further added, "The search cum seizure memo containing details of all seized items will be produced before the competent Court. CBI has already clarified that Office of Chief Minister of Delhi was neither searched nor sealed. CBI neither prevented nor disallowed any person in their movement to various offices in Delhi Secretariat including CM Office, except the office chamber of his Secretary, Rajinder Kumar and that of his Personal Assistant.
"It is relevant in this context that earlier in case of Sanjay Pratap Singh, Principal Secy, Govt of NCT, no functionary of Delhi Govt ever contacted or was ever in touch with CBI. Entire operation of laying trap and arrest of SP Singh was conducted by CBI on its own after receipt of complaint followed by independent verification," Singh said.
Meanwhile, Rajender Kumar was on Wednesday again questioned by the CBI in connection with a corruption case. Earlier, he was questioned by the CBI for about seven hours late on Tuesday night after the probe agency sleuths raided his office at the Delhi Secretariat. Kumar has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on charges of criminal conspiracy, and also under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly favouring a private company in five contracts worth Rs. 9.5 crores during 2007-14.
Kejriwal had tweeted on Tuesday, "When Modi cudn't handle me politically, he resorts to this cowardice. Modi is a coward and psychopath," sparking angry condemnation from BJP which demanded an apology from the chief minister for his "disgraceful" remarks.
The chief minister has claimed he was in fact the target and that Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar was just an excuse. A battery of BJP leaders and ministers have also condemned Kejriwal for his choice of words against the Prime Minister calling it condemnable and unwarranted and demanded apology.
