ACB Conducts Raid at DCW Office to Probe Nepotism in Recruitment

New Delhi: A team from Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) conducted a raid at Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) office on Thursday.

Sources said, the raid was based on a complaint filed by former-DCW chief Barkha Shukla Singh. Singh alleged that the DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal, practised "nepotism and favouritism" in appointments.

Barkha had said that AAP supporters were given plum jobs, while flouting the recruitment norms. She named 85 ineligible people who got jobs through dubious means and getting lakhs of rupees from the Delhi government exchequer.

Meanwhile, Maliwal rubbished the allegations, saying the current staff is needed in her office considering the number of cases the women's panel handles.
