Suspension of CPWD Engineers Over Alleged Irregularities in CM Kejriwal's Bungalow Construction

Three CPWD engineers have been suspended over allegations of irregularities, including significant cost escalations, in the construction of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official bungalow located in the Civil Lines area, according to officials.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs issued the suspension orders for the Additional Director General (Civil), Chief Engineer, and Superintendent Engineer of the CPWD on August 5, with pending disciplinary proceedings against them.

These engineers were involved in the construction work of CM Kejriwal's residence at 6, Flagstaff Road, which reportedly saw violations of rules and substantial cost increases under the guise of superior modifications. The Aam Aadmi Party has called for a fair investigation and decisive action if any corruption or irregularities are found.
