The duo levelled allegations of “corruption” and “irregularities in appointments” under the regime of present chairman and AAP MLA from Okhla Amantullah Khan.
The Board is under scanner for the alleged irregularities in Khan’s chairmanship. The Anti-Corruption Branch of Delhi government is probing a complaint of irregularities.
Refuting the allegations, Khan accused the members of working “at the behest of” Lt Governor.
“It’s a new ploy and they are colluding with LG. They wanted me to serve their interests which I refused. Everything will be clear in next few days,” Khan said.
