New Delhi, July 28, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) Assistant Engineer and two others in connection with an alleged bribery case involving government construction projects, officials said on Tuesday.
The arrested accused have been identified as Roop Singh Meena, Assistant Engineer with Delhi PWD; Sanjay Kaura, representative of M/s Kaura Construction Company, Rohini; and Vikram Kumar, an employee of the private firm.
The CBI registered the case on July 27 following allegations that Meena had misused his official position to extend undue favours to a contractor linked with Kaura Construction Company in exchange for illegal gratification.
According to the agency, the PWD official allegedly facilitated favourable treatment in connection with various construction works awarded by the department. The bribes were reportedly routed through multiple channels, including an employee of the private firm, as part of a larger conspiracy.
The CBI alleged that on July 27, Kaura instructed Kumar to deliver ₹21 lakh in cash to the Assistant Engineer at his residence in Pitampura, Delhi.
Acting on specific information, the agency carried out a raid at Meena’s residence and allegedly recovered the entire amount of ₹21 lakh. During further searches, CBI officials also recovered ₹15.50 lakh in cash and documents described as incriminating from the engineer’s residence.
A search at the residence of Kaura, the representative of the construction company, led to the recovery of ₹46.75 lakh in cash along with additional documents, the agency said.
The arrests were made after the recovery of cash and collection of evidence, according to the CBI. The agency said further investigation is underway to determine the wider scope of the alleged corruption network.
