The Delhi government today filed an interim application in the High Court against the appointment of Joint Commissioner of Police Mukesh Kumar Meena as Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) Chief.
The application is in the petition filed by the Delhi Government against the Home Ministry’s notification.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had on Friday said that Meena was currently under the scanner for an alleged hawala racket.
Earlier this week, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had written to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh expressing his reservations over the Lt. Governor’s decision, citing the rule book and pointing out that there was no post of joint commissioner in ACB at present.
Last week, Delhi Police (Retired) inspector Jawahar Lal had filed a complaint with Kejriwal, accusing Meena of embezelling 20 lakh rupees in a curtain purchase scam during his tenure as the principal of the Police Training College in the national capital.
