Vinay Bansal, son of Kejriwal’s brother-in-law, was arrested on Thursday morning from his residence in north west Delhi’s Pitampura area, a senior ACB official said. Three FIRs, including one against a company run by the chief minister’s brother-in-law Surender Bansal, were registered by the ACB in the PWD scam case on 9 May last year. AAP’s Delhi unit chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said the arrest was an attempt to malign the chief minister’s image and harass his relatives. However, the Anti Corruption Branch defended the arrest of the chief minister’s kin.
