Centre Orders Probe Into Delhi Bungalow At Centre Of ‘Sheeshmahal’ Row

The Centre has ordered a probe into alleged irregularities in the renovation of the 6 Flagstaff Bungalow, the former official residence of ex-Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The investigation was ordered on February 13, following the submission of a factual report by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD).

The CPWD has been directed to conduct a detailed inquiry into allegations that building norms were violated to construct an extravagant residence sprawling over 40,000 square yards (8 acres). The inquiry is expected to probe whether government regulations were bypassed to facilitate the construction of what the BJP has dubbed the “Sheeshmahal.”
