Gupta said nine officers were posted by Sisodia and nine other officers by the then secretary of the services department, Rajender Kumar, at the behest of Kejriwal. “If the officers were corrupt, what are the ACB and Delhi Police, which are controlled by the BJP, doing,” said AAP MLA Somnath Bharti.
