The CBI has registered a fresh FIR against former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Nabam Tuki for alleged nepotism and corruption related to a Rs 14.71-lakh contract for the construction of a Kendriya Vidyalaya school boundary wall in the Salt Lake area of Kolkata 16 years ago, officials said.

Tirap:
The CBI, after conducting an enquiry, has alleged that PWD officials of Arunachal awarded the tender to firms controlled by family of Tuki, the then PWD minister, at his behest and without inviting tenders, which caused wrongful loss to the state government and ‘wrongful’ gain to the minister and his relatives.
The work of Rs 14.71 lakh was awarded by the then commissioner of Kendriya Vidyalaya suo motu to state PWD in 2005, despite the fact that it ‘did not have required establishment and wherewithal’ in Salt Lake area, where the construction was to take place
