In a veiled attack on LG Najeeb Jung, without naming him, the Deputy CM tweeted, "was the appointment of new ACB chief done out of fear over opening of CNG fitness scam files?"
In a series of tweets Sisodia wrote, "what is the hurry behind constituting a post of Joint Commissioner in ACB? What is the conspiracy behind posting one's favourite man and asking him to join in the night itself?"
Sisodia alleged that Meena had tried to "trap" him by trying to make suicide of a farmer in rally in Jantar Mantar in April as a murder.
"One should remember that this is the same officer who had termed Gajendra Singh's suicide as murder and conspired to frame me by writing a fake script," Sisodia wrote on his micro-blogging website.
Senior party leader Ashutosh questioned the move on the micro-blogging site saying "When LG himself is in dock in CNG case he has appointed joint chief of ACB. This is brazen attempt to save himself from investigation,"
Claiming that the move was a contempt of court he tweeted "LG's appointment is fit case of contempt of court. Delhi HC categorically said ACB is under Delhi Govt/not under LG. LG cant appoint anyone (sic)."
The ACB on Saturday had decided to "reinvestigate" the alleged 2002 CNG fitness scam of Rs 100 crore in which three top officials of Sheila Dikshit government were under scanner.
