New Delhi: The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has sent notice to Sheila Dikshit asking her to join the investigation in connection with the alleged Rs 400-crore water tanker scam even as the former Delhi Chief Minister dubbed the charges as “politically motivated”.

Special Commission of Police and ACB Chief MK Meena said, “Notices have been sent to Sheila Dixit and few Delhi Jal Board officials. They shall be questioned on August 26.”

Asked by reporters what happens if Dikshit fails to turn up before the ACB despite the notice, Meena said, “We can't predict anything in this regard. We are taking action as per law.” The notices were sent under the provisions of section 160 of the CrPC. A case was registered by the ACB on June 20 in connection with the alleged scam linking Dikshit.
