Job scam: FIR against Swati Maliwal also alleges Kejriwal involvement

New Delhi : Another controversy is set to hit Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as his name gets a mention in a FIR filed against Delhi Commission for Women chairperson Swati Maliwal, over her alleged involvement in a recruitment scam. However, there is no mention of his role.

Kejriwal once again posted the blame on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the FIR has been filed in his directions.

“How can they name me without my role in it? Or has it become so easy for any agency to file a case against the Chief Minister. It is clear that the FIR has the PM’s nod,” he said.
