Three Delhi Jal Board employees were today suspended after a sting operation by a private news channel purportedly showed them accepting bribes.
Chief water analyst Vinod Kumar, patwari Sunil Kumar and meter reader Atul Prakash were suspended following orders by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Education and PWD Minister Manish Sisodia said.
He said anybody found involved in any kind of corruption will not be spared.
"By initiating action we have tried to give out a strong and clear message to all officials that they have to understand that days of corruption are over and it is a governance of clean politics. So either they should be prepared to change themselves or they should be ready for sterner actions," Sisodia said, adding cases will be registered against the trio.
The sting operation purportedly showed the accused seeking monetary gratification for giving a report clearing the use of water for purposes of building construction and also for reading a meter.
