Two Detained in Money Laundering Probe Linked to Delhi Jal Board

In connection with the money laundering investigation into purported irregularities in the tendering process of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), the Enforcement Directorate has arrested a retired chief engineer and a contractor, as per official sources on Thursday. The arrested individuals, Jagdish Kumar Arora, a retired chief engineer, and contractor Anil Kumar Aggarwal, are now in custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The Enforcement Directorate had previously conducted raids in July of the previous year in connection with this case. The investigation involves two distinct aspects of irregularities in the DJB’s tendering process, originating from an FIR filed by the CBI and the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of the Delhi government.

The CBI’s FIR alleged that DJB officials provided “undue advantage” to NKG Infrastructure Limited while awarding a tender for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of electromagnetic flow meters, allegedly in collusion with officials from NBCC (India) Limited.

The second allegation, stemming from an ACB complaint in November 2022, claims that DJB awarded a tender for the installation of automotive bill payment collection machines (kiosks) in its various offices to facilitate consumers in bill payments.
