The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a corruption case against Delhi minister Satyendar Jain, then Public Works Department (PWD) engineer-in-chief Sarvagya Kumar Srivastava in connection with the hiring of 24 architects for creation of creative team in PWD. The agency also carried out raids at five locations in the national capital. The CBI also alleged that the budget requirement for formation of the creative was also made from unrelated heads which was improper and against the laid out government's norms.

Soon after the raids, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: "What does the PM (Prime Minister) Modi want?" Jain, the minister in charge of the PWD said, "CBI raids my house for hiring creative team by PWD. Professionals were hired for different projects. All were forced to leave by CBI," Jain tweeted.
