The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked Nabam Tuki, former Minister of Public Works Department (PWD) and Urban Development in the Arunachal Pradesh, and others for allegedly awarding contracts without following procedures.

Among those named as accused are Nabam Aka, sister-in-law of Mr. Nabam, her company, Jumsi Enterprise; Sraboni Bhattacharjee and her company, S. B. Enterprise.
