Arun Jaitley tried to influence DDCA probe: AAP

New Delhi: Targeting Senior BJP leader and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on DDCA issue, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today stated that the minister was aware of irregularities in Delhi and District Cricket Association and tried put pressure on the investigation.

Citing documents, Aam Aadmi Party leader Ashutosh said that Jaitley wrote a letter to Delhi Police asking them to close the entire investigation following the first information reports on the Syndicate Bank Cricket Club bungling case, which is part of the DDCA irregularities.

“Jaitley was aware of corruption going in the DDCA but he tried to cover up the matter,” said Ashutosh.

He said: “Jaitley misused his position as (then) leader of opposition of the Rajya Sabha to pressurise Delhi Police (on DDCA issue).”

Demanding Jaitley’s resignation, Ashutosh said Jaitley was fully involved in DDCA matters and also tried to influence investigation.
