The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today conducted raids at Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain's Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Dr Nikunj Aggarwal office and Anup Mohta, Director Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalya.

They said the teams have gone to the offices of Aggarwal and Mohta to get records related to appointment and other allegations including Aggarwal's nomination for a course at IIM Ahmedabad and for a trip to Bejing, China.

The sources said the team also spoke to Aggarwal in his office. Officials sources made clear that no searches have taken place in the office of Jain and the action is limited only to the office of the OSD and Director of the official as of now.

CBI had earlier registered an FIR in connection with alleged irregularities in the appointment of Aggarwal, as OSD to Jain.

The agency registered the case on the basis of a complaint from Delhi government's Deputy Secretary Vigilance K S Meena. The complaint is now the part of the FIR.

The FIR is against Mohta and Aggarwal, for alleged criminal conspiracy and under provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

BJP leader Vijender Gupta had alleged that Aggarwal is the son-in-law of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's sister-in-law.

In its complaint, the vigilance department has claimed Aggarwal was appointed as Senior Resident (Ortho) in Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalya on ad hoc basis on August 10, 2015 even though there was no proposal to engage an SR and no such post was available.

"Also no advertisement was issued by the hospital for the selection of Dr Nikunj Aggarwal as SR. No walk-in interview was conducted for the purpose," it alleged.

Aggarwal had made a handwritten application on a "plain paper" for appointment in the hospital on August 6, 2015 and within four days his appointment was approved without following any procedure, the complaint alleged.

"Within few days of appointment of Aggarwal, his services were requisitioned for appointment as OSD to Minister of Health, GNCTD. As per the Residency Scheme, the resident doctors are engaged for working in hospitals, and not for other duties," it alleged.
