Tanker scam: Kapil Mishra to record statement with ACB today

Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra will record a detailed statement with regard to the 400-crore rupees tanker scam in the Delhi Jal Board with the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in New Delhi today. <br/><br/>The former Delhi water minister had recently submitted evidence to the ACB to back his allegation that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his two men had influenced and delayed the probe into the scam which dates back to Sheila Dikshit's tenure as Chief Minister. Mr Mishra alleged that the AAP government tried to protect her. <br/><br/>Sheila Dikshit was in August last year examined by the ACB in connection with her alleged involvement in the scam and was handed over a set of 18 written questions. <br/><br/>The AAP government had in June 2015 set up a fact-finding committee to look into alleged irregularities in procuring around 385 stainless steel water tankers by the DJB. <br/><br/>In June last year, it sent the panel's report to then Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, following which an FIR was registered in the matter.
