The Central Vigilance Commission has prompted the Delhi government's Public Works Department to investigate alleged irregularities concerning the expansion of the 6, Flagstaff Road bungalow. The residence, used by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, is at the center of controversy, with BJP leader Vijender Gupta alleging financial misconduct.
