Arvind Kejriwal, soon after becoming the chief minister of Delhi in December, vowed to initiate moves against his predecessor Sheila Dikshit on charges of corruption, something he had promised before the election. On Thursday, he reportedly directed the anti-corruption bureau to probe charges that Dikshit had played a role in purchasing imported street-lighting at inflated prices.
Also on February 3, the AAP-led government had written to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking a probe into how Dikshit authorised illegal colonies in 2008.
Sheila Dikshit served as the chief minister of Delhi for 15 years.
