The newly elected AAP government in Delhi has taken the first step towards fulfilling its poll promise of fighting corruption tooth and nail.

The government plans to appoint AIIMS whistleblower Sanjiv Chaturvedi as head of the Delhi government’s anti-corruption cell,

in a move that is being seen as the first real signs that AAP is serious about the issue of corruption.

Chaturvedi, an Indian Forest Service officer who had uncovered several scams while posted in Haryana, was removed from the post of Chief Vigilance Officer at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in August last year.

His sacking had lead to widespread protests and demands of reinstatement.
