New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said criminal cases will be filed against billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Union Oil Minister Veerappa Moily and other policy-makers for colluding to inflate the prices of gas. (Highlights: Kejriwal orders FIR against Moily, Mukesh Ambani over gas pricing)
Reliance Industries Limited, owned by Mr Ambani, has been allowed windfall and illegitimate gains, said Mr Kejriwal; he said he was acting on the basis of four complaints. (Watch)
Reacting to Mr Kejriwal's charges, Oil Minister Veerappa Moily said, "Nothing is done without expert advice. If he can give (us) some money, we'll be happy to reduce prices."
The chief minister said that the alleged swindle will unfairly push up gas prices in the capital, which is why his government is intervening in a deal struck between the Centre and Reliance.
The government cleared the higher prices after Reliance offered financial guarantees to the government to settle any claims against it over a shortfall in its gas output.
