Delhi Court grants bail to Kejriwal relative in PWD scam case
Three companies, including Renu Constructions (owned by Bansal, Kamal Singh and Pawan Kumar), were also named in the FIRs.
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday granted bail to chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s relative Vinay Bansal in a case related to the alleged Public Works Department (PWD) scam.
Additional session Judge Kamini Lau granted relief to Mr Bansal, a nephew of Mr Kejriwal, on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakhs with one surety of like amount, lawyer B. S. Joon, appearing for the accused, said.
Mr Bansal, the son of Mr Kejriwal’s late brother-in-law Surender Bansal, was arrested on May 10 by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB). Three FIRs, including one against a company run by the chief minister’s brother-in-law Surender Bansal, were registered by the ACB in this case on May 9 last year.
Three companies, including Renu Constructions (owned by Bansal, Kamal Singh and Pawan Kumar), were also named in the FIRs.
In a complaint, Rahul Sharma, founder of NGO Roads Anti-Corruption Organisation (RACO), had alleged financial irregularities in building a drain in north-west Delhi and accused Mr Kejriwal and PWD minister Satyendra Jain of misusing their office to grant the contracts to Vinay Bansal.
However, they were not named in the FIR.
