Twarit: AAP cries foul after Delhi CM Kejriwal’s relative Vinay Bansal arrested in alleged PWD scam

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's nephew Vinay Bansal was arrested today by an anti-graft body in connection with alleged financial irregularities in a drainage project for the PWD, prompting the AAP to allege that it was a conspiracy to malign the party chief's image and harass his relatives.
While Bansal was sent to one-day judicial custody by a Delhi court, his arrest immediately triggered a political slugfest in the national capital with the BJP's Delhi unit demanding Kejriwal's resignation and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleging that the Centre was using Delhi Police and the Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) only "to harass and trouble" AAP leaders and their relatives.
The ACB officials said Bansal was found to be a 50 per cent stakeholder in a firm named Renu Constructions that was allegedly involved in financial irregularities in building a drainage system in north-west Delhi.
Bansal was arrested in the morning from his residence in north west Delhi's Pitampura area, a senior ACB official said. Duty Metropolitian Magistrate Suri Mishra denied the ACB's application for three-day police remand saying Bansal is not medically fit, while sending him to a one-day judicial custody.
