CS Naresh Kumar Land Acquisition: CM Kejriwal Sends Inquiry Report to LG Saxena

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has forwarded the report from the Vigilance Minister, Atishi Singh, alleging “prima facie complicity” of Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar in the Bamnoli land acquisition matter to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, as per government sources on Wednesday.

The report, submitted by Vigilance Minister Atishi to Kejriwal on Tuesday, recommends the removal of Kumar from his post due to alleged corruption in the acquisition of 19 acres of land in South West Delhi’s Bamnoli village.

Kejriwal has directed the vigilance minister to send the report to both the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate, according to sources. The report contends that the compensation for land acquisition was escalated from Rs 41 crore to Rs 353 crore, with the claimed “scale of undue benefits” in the deal exceeding Rs 897 crore.

Chief Secretary Kumar has refuted any wrongdoing in the matter, characterizing the allegations against him as “mudslinging” by individuals with vested interests who faced vigilance action in corruption cases.

The vigilance minister’s report stemmed from an inquiry into a complaint alleging that the chief secretary’s son was employed by an individual related to the benefited landowners in Bamnoli.
