New Delhi: A Delhi court Wednesday sent former minister Satyendar Jain, ex-Delhi Jal Board CEO Udit Prakash Rai and three others in the alleged corruption case involving the tendering process for sewage treatment plant projects of the DJB to 14-day judicial custody.
Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh also sent Ankit Srivastava, a former contractual consultant with the DJB, to two days of police custody.
The court also issued notice to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) on a bail plea of Jain, which was moved by his counsel on Wednesday.
Jain, Rai, Srivastava, and three others were arrested by the ACB in connection with the case Tuesday night.
A reasoned order is awaited.
Other accused in the case are private persons Nagendra Yadav, Raja Kumar Kurra and Pankaj Verma.
The case was registered in May 2024, on a complaint by the Directorate of Vigilance, over alleged large-scale irregularities, manipulation of tender conditions and criminal conspiracy in the tendering process related to augmentation and upgradation of sewage treatment plants of the DJB.
