Setback to Arvind Kejriwal as Centre orders CBI probe into purchase of 1,000 low-floor buses by Delhi govt

A three-member committee formed by Lt Governor Anil Baijal in June had found procedural "flaws" in the AMC and recommended scrapping it.

New Delhi: In a big setback to the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Thursday recommended a preliminary inquiry by the CBI into the procurement of 1,000 low-floor buses by the AAP government. It may be noted that a matter of "corruption" in the annual maintenance contract (AMC) of the bus procurement by the Delhi Transport Corporation was raised by the BJP in Delhi Assembly in March this year.
