Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has arrested former minister Satyendra Kumar Jain and five others in connection with a tender scam in the Delhi Jal Board. The arrests were made in a case involving alleged manipulation of tenders for sewage treatment plant upgrades to benefit a specific company, Euroteck Environment Pvt. Ltd.
According to aajtak.in, the FIR, registered on May 11, 2024, includes charges of corruption, fraud and criminal conspiracy. The ACB claims that tender conditions were altered to eliminate competition, causing financial loss to the government. Investigators have recovered electronic evidence, including emails and messages, allegedly showing collusion between private parties and government officials.
The ACB has also alleged that former CEO Udit Prakash Rai and his relatives received approximately Rs 1.52 crore through AN Enterprises, routed through entities linked to Euroteck, which was later used to buy property. The money trail is under investigation.
