New Delhi: The Delhi Anti-Corruption Bureau on Saturday re-opened the 2002 CNG fitness scam of Rs 100 crore in which several senior officials of Sheila Dikshit-led Congress government were under scanner.
"The ACB is reopening the 2002 CNG Fitness Scam in which top babus, who had worked under Sheila Dikshit government, are under scanner," top government sources said.
The sources said that ACB had registered a case in 2012 into the alleged 2002 CNG Fitness scam which runs into Rs 100 crore.
"During the AAP's previous 49-day stint, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said that all documents would be provided to CBI after the probe agency sought some documents pertaining to the scam.
"But, the case probe got stuck as Kejriwal government resigned," they said, adding that as elected government is now in place in the capital, ACB would probe the matter thoroughly.
The sources claimed that the probe was stalled due to inability to get permission to question the officials.
The Aam Aadmi Party had, in December 2014, raked up the issue of the CNG fitness scam of 2002 and attacked the "continuing silence" of the central government and Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung on the alleged indictment of top bureaucrats in the city government by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The case is re-opened at a time when Kejriwal and Lt Governor are at loggerheads and are leaving no stone unturned to assert their power in the national capital.
