Delhi’s Anti-Corruption Branch Files Case Against Satyendra Jain Over Alleged Bribe in CCTV Project

New Delhi: Delhi’s Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has filed a case against Satyendra Jain, who was the PWD minister in the Aam Aadmi Party government. Satyendra Jain is accused of allegedly waiving the liquidated damage (LD) fine of Rs 16 crore imposed on Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) while he was a minister. During the tenure of the Aam Aadmi Party government, 1.40 lakh CCTV cameras were installed in 70 assembly constituencies of Delhi, in which Rs 571 crore was spent. This fine was imposed on the company for not installing the cameras within the stipulated time limit.

According to the release issued by the ACB, media reports had said that an arrangement was made to pay a bribe of Rs 7 crore to the nodal officer of the project, former PWD minister Satyendra Jain, to waive the liquidated damage of Rs 16 crore. During the investigation, the ACB questioned a BEL official who corroborated these allegations and provided a detailed complaint in the instant case.

On August 23, 2019, various media reports stated that the then Delhi government had imposed a penalty of Rs 16 crore against BEL and its contractors for delay in installing CCTV cameras. However, according to the complaint, not only was the penalty of Rs 16 crore waived off, but BEL was also given repeated orders to install an additional 1.4 lakh cameras.

The complainant also stated that the bribe amount of Rs 7 crore was paid through the same contractors who had received an additional order of 1.4 lakh CCTV cameras. The complaint stated that the entire project of installing CCTVs was executed in a shoddy manner and many CCTV cameras were faulty even when the PWD took over the project. The bribe was paid through various vendors by artificially inflating the values ​​of orders given to these vendors.

ACB says that documents related to PWD and BEL are being obtained and are being investigated. Based on the findings in this case, a case has been registered in the Anti-Corruption Branch under various sections against the former PWD Minister of the then Delhi Government. At the same time, an investigation has been started to find out the entire conspiracy and determine the role and charges of the alleged PWD Minister, PWD and BEL officials. Let us tell you that just before Holi, the Home Ministry had given its approval to prosecute Satyendra Jain, who was a minister in the Delhi Government, in a case related to money laundering. Now in a new case, ACB has registered against Satyendra Jain.

The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has announced that they are currently in the process of obtaining and investigating documents related to the Public Works Department (PWD) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). As a result of their findings, a case has been officially registered against the former PWD Minister of the previous Delhi Government under various sections.

Simultaneously, an extensive investigation has been launched to uncover the entire conspiracy and determine the involvement and charges of the accused PWD Minister, PWD officials, and BEL officials. It is worth noting that just before the Holi festival, the Home Ministry granted approval to prosecute Satyendra Jain, a former minister in the Delhi Government, in a money laundering case.

Now, a new case has been registered by the ACB against Satyendra Jain, further intensifying the legal actions being taken against him.

Stray Cow Menace: PIL Accuses Delhi Civic Authorities of Turning Blind Eye to Organized Syndicate

NEW DELHI: A plea has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking urgent action to address the issue of stray cows causing havoc on city roads.

The public interest litigation (PIL) highlights the alarming number of PCR calls (25,593) made to the Delhi Police regarding incidents involving stray cows between January 1, 2023, and February 19, 2025. These incidents, which only scratch the surface of the problem, often result in injuries to pedestrians and motorists.

The petition, filed by the Save India Foundation, a registered trust, through Advocate Umesh Sharma, accuses civic authorities of turning a blind eye to an organized syndicate that abandons cows on Delhi’s roads after purchasing them from dairies in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. This collusion with certain MCD officials has led to a proliferation of stray cows in public spaces, posing a significant threat to public safety.

The image was sourced from social media platform X, posted by user Kushagra Gaur. The post sheds light on the issue of stray cows causing havoc in Krishna Nagar, AC-60 East Delhi (Ghondly Chowk).
The image was sourced from social media platform X, posted by user Kushagra Gaur. The post sheds light on the issue of stray cows causing havoc in Krishna Nagar, AC-60 East Delhi (Ghondly Chowk).

Despite offers of volunteer support from the petitioner organization, authorities have failed to take any meaningful action to address the issue. Transparency regarding the infrastructure in place to manage the large population of stray cows is also lacking, with crucial details such as the number of cow shelters, water facilities, veterinarians, and complaint response mechanisms remaining undisclosed.

The plea further highlights the exploitation of non-milch cows, which are abandoned as strays once they give birth to calves. Owners then reclaim the newborns, selling them to dairies for profit, perpetuating a vicious cycle of exploitation and abandonment. This practice not only poses a danger to public safety but also raises ethical concerns about the treatment of animals in the city.

In light of these issues, the plea urges the Delhi High Court to intervene and compel civic authorities to take immediate action to address the menace of stray cows and prevent their exploitation for profit.

The petition requests that the authorities take immediate and decisive action to address the problem of stray cows on the roads of Delhi. This includes forming a Special Task Force made up of volunteers and ambulances. Additionally, the plea calls for the establishment of more cow shelters and facilities in Delhi to prevent organized syndicates from abandoning cows on the streets. These allegations must be thoroughly investigated and addressed to ensure the safety and well-being of these animals.
