The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of the Delhi government on Thursday lodged a formal case against former health ministers Saurabh Bharadwaj and Satyendar Jain, alleging large-scale corruption in health infrastructure projects approved during their tenure under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.
According to an official statement, a total of 24 hospital-related projects -- comprising 11 greenfield and 13 brownfield developments -- were sanctioned in 2018–19 with an estimated outlay of Rs 5,590 crore. However, these projects have been plagued by massive delays and steep cost escalations which raised serious concerns about potential financial misappropriation.
