New Delhi, Aug. 4 -- The Rouse Avenue court on Monday accepted a CBI's closure report in a corruption case against former Delhi Minister Satyender Jain. The CBI filed the closure report due to the lack of evidence and absence of sanction.

The FIR was registered on May 29, 2019, against Satyendra Jain (the then PWD Minister, GNCTD) and other PWD officials based on a complaint from the Directorate of Vigilance, Delhi Government.

It was alleged that there was an irregular engagement of professionals in the PWD, a violation of rules, and payments made from unrelated project funds. It was also alleged that the minister and PWD officials irregularly hired a "Creative Team" of consultants, breaching recruitment and financial regulations.
