President Approves Corruption Probe Against AAP Leaders Sisodia and Jain

The investigation focuses on alleged ₹2,000 crore irregularities in school construction during their tenure as Delhi ministers.

President Droupadi Murmu has sanctioned a formal probe by Delhi's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) into alleged corruption involving AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.
The allegations include inflated costs and irregularities in the construction of 12,748 classrooms in Delhi government schools, amounting to ₹2,892.65 crore.
The probe was initiated following complaints from BJP leaders and a 2022 recommendation by Delhi's vigilance directorate based on earlier reports of irregularities.
Sisodia and Jain, who held key ministerial roles in the Delhi government, have denied wrongdoing and accused the BJP-led central government of political targeting.
The investigation is being conducted under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, which requires prior approval for inquiries into public officials.
