New Delhi, Dec 29 (IBNS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has alleged that an official of DDCA, the Delhi cricket body caught in the eye of storm over financial scam, had even asked for sexual favours in selections.

Arvind Kejriwal told NDTV that a senior journalist's wife was asked by an official to visit him at night at his home about a month ago for the selection of their son.

"His (the senior journalist's) son plays cricket. He told me that his son was selected, he got a call that his son was selected. In the evening when the list came, his name was not there. Can you believe that the next day, the journalist's wife got an SMS that you come to my (official's) place at night, your son's selection will be done," Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal claimed that the journalist is willing to depose before probe panel.

Kejriwal accused the ruling BJP of using all central agencies to target him and declared: "Kejriwal is not scared of the CBI, order any inquiry against me."

Challenging the CBI to "send 100 officers to the Delhi Secretariat and look into every file in my office", the Chief Minister reiterated that the reason for the raid was a file on details of alleged corruption in Delhi's cricket body DDCA (Delhi and District Cricket Administration), which was headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for 13 years till 2013.

"Mr Jaitley was repeatedly told many times about the corruption, but no action was taken. He was president for 14 years and such a scam took place on a large scale. The moment we say there is corruption in DDCA, Mr Jaitley filed a defamation suit against us," he said.

When it was pointed out that Arun Jaitley was never named in connection with any corruption in the DDCA, Kejriwal said those who investigated the cricket body said there were wrongdoings but never named anyone.
