ED investigates Delhi classroom construction 'Scam'
India
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) just raided 37 locations across Delhi, digging into a suspected ₹2,000 crore scam involving classroom construction during the previous AAP government.
This follows an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) case that flagged shady financial moves in building over 12,000 classrooms.
Classroom construction cost inflated by 90% in Delhi: ACB
According to the ACB, each classroom ended up costing nearly ₹25 lakh—way above the usual ₹5 lakh price tag in Delhi.
Some contracts saw costs jump by up to 90% without fresh tenders, which goes against standard rules.
Former AAP ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain have been summoned, and with Sisodia skipping his appearance recently, political tensions are running high as the probe continues.
