Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday vowed to launch a probe into corruption allegations against the Public Works Department (PWD).

Kejriwal remarks came after a report by online news portal "Janta Ka Reporter" where it was alleged that the PWD has cleared a bill related to the maintenance of a road and a drain without doing any work.

The news portal quoted Hindi news Channel Aaj Tak that it has all documents related to the alleged irregularities.

Responding to the reports, Kejriwal tweeted: "Please send all documents. I will immediately get them investigated."
