Mishra approaches CBI, seeks probe
new delhi — Sacked Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra on Tuesday filed CBI complaints against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over allegations of corruption and also against his relatives and some AAP leaders, hours after he posted an open letter to the chief minister. He handed over three sealed envelops to the CBI that he called “evidences”.
“I have registered three complaints. First on the exchange of cash between Kejriwal and Satyendar Jain. Second on the firm owned by Kejriwal’s relatives involved in PWD and a Chhatarpur farmhouse land deal... The third is on the foreign trips by five AAP leaders,” Mishra said.
Mishra sought details about the foreign trips of AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Ashish Khetan, Raghav Chadha, Satyendar Jain and Durgesh Pathak by Wednesday morning and threatened to go on a hunger strike if the AAP failed to do so. “In the last two years, which countries did they visit, where did they stay, who bore the expenses, whom did they meet and what are those deals that they entered into?” Mishra asked.
Mishra also alleged that there had been “illegal funding” during the Punjab elections and that tickets were “sold” by the party during the Delhi civic polls.
Earlier in the morning, Mishra wrote an open letter to Kejriwal challenging him to a poll battle. In the letter, Mishra said he will register an FIR against Kejriwal.
The Karawal Nagar MLA, who was on Monday suspended from primary membership of the AAP, also threatened to launch a hunger strike tomorrow if details of foreign visits by five AAP leaders are not made public by the party. — IANS, PTI
