New Delhi: The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) today said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal did not figure in the FIR regarding alleged illegalities in the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW).
ACB chief MK Meena made the statement hours after Mr Kejriwal said he was surprised he had been named in the FIR and blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said that without PM Modi's approval, police would not have included him in the FIR.
"In the ACB's endorsement inquiry report, Kejriwal's name is not mentioned. He is not an accused in the case and we are not conducting an inquiry against him," Meena said.
Mr Meena said Ms Maliwal, her secretary PP Dhal and some government officials were named in the FIR on Monday. Ms Maliwal has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing vis-a-vis recruitment in the DCW.
