New Delhi: Undeterred by these accusations, Mr Kejriwal set off a sensation as he claimed that an unnamed DDCA official had asked for sex from a journalist’s wife in exchange for selecting her son in a cricket team.
In his letter to the NSA, Mr Subramanium asked him to provide the officers along with their dossiers, a move that was described by the BJP as “cheap publicity and propaganda”. A highly-placed MHA source said that Mr Subramanium had addressed the letter to the “wrong” person as the NSA had no role in providing officers to any state. “Central government officials cannot participate in any state inquiry commission. The role of the IB is to gather Intelligence. Why he wants IB officers... he alone can answer.”
From Mr Doval, Mr Subramanium sought shortlisted dossiers of five of the “best officers of the IB, who should be of the level of joint director and below”, five CBI officers and five Delhi police officers, with their records.
Earlier, Mr Kejriwal tweeted: “Is it true that the MHA has sent DDCA file to Prime Minister to decide whether to declare Enquiry Commission illegal. What will PM do — declare it illegal or allow enquiry? Though it will have no impact on ongoing enquiry commission.”
However, well-placed sources said the file was still with the MHA. In a TV interview, Mr Kejriwal accused an unnamed DDCA official of asking for sex in return for selection of cricketers. “A senior journalist came to me and said his wife was asked to come for sex in return for selection of his son in the cricket team,” he told the TV channel.
Mr Kejriwal did not name the journalist or offer any evidence, but told the channel the journalist was ready to testify at an inquiry. He said “apart from the financial irregularities at DDCA, there were other major wrong things happening, including the sex racket”.
He said Narendra Modi should decide “whether to make the DDCA inquiry null and void to protect (finance minister) Arun Jaitley”.
