File Photo: Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia
A sub-divisional magistrate caught two officials of Delhi Development Authority (DDA) while allegedly accepting a bribe but the police has refused to file an FIR, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed on Tuesday.
Mr Sisodia posted a video on Twitter in which two persons are purportedly seen "taking money".
Mr Sisodia in his tweet has claimed that neither Delhi police nor the Anti-Corruption Bureau have registered an FIR in this regard.
"After catching two corrupt officers red-handed, a Delhi government SDM is running pillar to post to register an FIR," he claimed in his tweet.
Meanwhile, according to a senior official, following a complaint, Defence Colony SDM "raided" the DDA office in Civil Lines area and caught two government employees allegedly while accepting a bribe.
The SDM took the DDA officials to Kotla Mubarakpur police station to register an FIR but the official alleged that Delhi police "refused to do so". "SDM took them to Delhi government's Anti-Corruption Branch but the duty officer declined to take the complaint," the official claimed.
The person who filed the complaint with the SDM, Mannu, has claimed that the officials had asked for a bribe to hand over documents to a DDA flat. "We have made payments for our DDA flat. My parents went to get the papers, but they were brushed off. It seemed they were expecting a bribe. We did a sting (operation) on July 20. After one or two hours, he asked us for 5,000 rupees. I negotiated and agreed on 3,000 rupees, and called 103 and did a sting operation," he said.
