Ex-Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain Investigated for Corruption in ₹571-Crore CCTV Project

The Anti-Corruption Branch has filed an FIR alleging bribery and irregularities, with broader concerns about governance in Delhi’s public infrastructure projects.

Satyendar Jain, a senior AAP leader and former PWD minister, is accused of corruption in a ₹571-crore CCTV installation project in Delhi.
The FIR alleges that Jain waived ₹16 crore in penalties for Bharat Electronics Limited after receiving a ₹7 crore bribe.
The project is under scrutiny for shoddy execution, with multiple complaints about non-functional cameras at the time of handover.
This investigation follows earlier allegations of inflated costs and irregularities in the ₹2,892-crore classroom construction scam involving Delhi government schools.
The FIR was registered after obtaining prior sanction under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, as investigations continue into both cases.
