Delhi Police was on Thursday directed by a court here to file an action taken report (ATR) on a criminal complaint seeking lodging of FIR against Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, his brother-in-law and a public servant for alleged irregularities in grant of contracts for roads and sewer lines. Metropolitan Magistrate Abhilash Malhotra asked police to file the ATR by February 6, the next date of hearing. The court also directed the accounts of the Delhi government’s Public Works Department (PWD) be freezed or preserved. He has alleged that the role of the chief minister must be investigated as he had allegedly caused substantive gains to Bansal and others by using his influence. Besides lodging of FIR, the complaint has also sought the court’s direction to call for a status report from the police, monitoring of the probe and a status report from CBI on a complaint given to them on January 9.
