Manish Sisodia Under Fire: Classroom Construction Corruption Allegations Intensify

Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia skipped a summons from Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch regarding alleged corruption in constructing classrooms at government schools. The agency seeks to question him following accusations of misappropriating Rs 2,000 crore. Delhi Environment Minister Sirsa criticized Sisodia, accusing him of evasion and wrongdoing.

Manish Sisodia, a senior AAP leader, is under intense scrutiny following his absence from a scheduled questioning by Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB). The agency had summoned him over alleged corruption related to the construction of classrooms in government schools, a controversy escalating rapidly.

Sources from the ACB informed that Sisodia's counsel has cited pre-planned engagements as the reason for his non-appearance. The ACB, awaiting a reply regarding his availability, threatens to issue a new summons if no response is forthcoming by Tuesday.

Delhi's Environment Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, further fueled the allegations, accusing Sisodia of embezzling Rs 2,000 crore. His accusations come amid an environment of heightened scrutiny as the ACB probes financial irregularities in over 12,000 classrooms built under the AAP's reign.
