Delhi BJP chief slams AAP for fire at Ghazipur landfill site
The Delhi BJP chief also demanded the Delhi government to clarify who was responsible for the incident.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday carried out searches at the residence of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain over alleged violation of norms in hiring architects for the creative wing of the Public Works Department (PWD).
The CBI said the contract documents for hiring 24 people for mohalla clinics and other PWD projects were not done in a transparent manner.
The agency had registered a preliminary inquiry into the hiring of 24 architects for a creative wing of the PWD through an agency, which reportedly lacked any prior experience, said officials.

Five more locations, including residences of PWD officials and other private persons, are also being searched, officials added.
In a tweet, PWD Minister Satyendar Jain confirmed that the Central agency was carrying out searches at his residence.
Cbi raids my house for hiring creative team by PWD. Professionals were hired for different projects. All were forced to leave by cbi.

CBI has registered a fresh case against Jain in connection with the alleged violation of norms while hiring creative team for PWD. He is already facing probe in a case pertaining to money laundering.
In August 2017, a disproportionate assets case was registered by the CBI and investigations were also taken up by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
CBI’s raid on Wednesday at Jain’s residence comes a day after the agency closed a probe into his daughter Soumya Jain’s appointment as an adviser to the state government’s project on mohalla clinics.
