Lieutenant governor V.K., on behalf of delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, has recommended suspending

Chief Secretary naresh Kumar and recommending a cbi inquiry. Expressing surprise over the request to VK

Saxena, Saxena said, The report which pertains to sensitive vigilance matters and has been sent to my

secretariat under confidential cover, is already in the public domain. The lg said that even the basic principles

of investigation have not been followed in the present case and Vigilance minister Atishi Marlena and the Chief

Minister have referred the case to the cbi and ED, which are investigating within their competence as per

established law.

Raj Bhavan sources said that in his letter to Kejriwal, Saxena said he had received a initial report on the

complaints submitted by Atishi and supported by the chief minister. The source said the lg expressed

surprise and termed it unfortunate that the report which deals with sensitive vigilance matters and is marked to

his secretariat in confidential cover, is already in the public domain and its wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital or electronic copies can be

selected draft of the report has reportedly been leaked to the media, prima facie it appears that the entire purpose

of this alleged investigation was not to find out the truth, but to start a media trial and expose the entire issue.

Mention of Saxena’s letter

Quoting Saxena’s letter to the Chief minister, the source said, One is forced to wonder whether this does not

amount to creating bias in public perception, aimed at influencing the courts. The source said Saxena also said

in his letter that despite studying the contents of the report, the minister himself has recorded in his report on

page 26 that this case of illegal and excessive land compensation was raised by DM hemant Kumar were passed, which are already under criminal investigation by the CBI. The source said the lg mentioned that it is

pertinent to highlight that the proposal for a cbi probe was approved by him on recommendations received

from Chief Secretary naresh Kumar and Divisional Commissioner ashwini Kumar.
