Arvind Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal' To Be Probed Over Violations In Constructing Lavish Mansion

(MENAFN- Live Mint) The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) on February 13 ordered a probe into the renovations of the 6 Flagstaff Bungalow, the residence of former CM Arvind Kejriwal . This comes after CPWD submitted factual report alleging potential violations of building norms for a mansion covering 40,000 square yards. Accordingly, CVC has asked CPWD to conduct a detailed investigation on allegations that 'building norms were floated to construct it'

The reconstructed bungalow was the official residence of Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister from 2015 till October 2024 when he vacated it after resigning from the post under fire from the BJP over corruption charges.

The BJP for more than two years, more so during the Assembly election campaign, hit hard at Kejriwal levelling allegations of corruption including irregularities in the reconstruction of the bungalow and lavish interiors, high-end domestic goods and fixtures there.
