AAP has again kicked off a major controversy recently by giving a party ticket to a person accused of sodomising and physically torturing a 17-year-old youth.

According to police records, Amarjeet Singh who has been declared as a party candidate from Roopnagar assembly constituency had sodomised and brutally tortured a 17-year-old youth who worked as a trainee driver with him.

The medical report also confirmed the crime.

Arvind Kejriwal had ignored these evidences when AAP's anti-corruption cell members tried to apprise him at his residence in Delhi before the first list of candidates was released.

Colonel Baljit Singh Chahal, who was one of the three members present at Kejriwal's residence, has disclosed to India Today how Kejriwal treated the serious allegations.

NOT A CLEAN PARTY



24 out of the 32 candidates given tickets recently have a dubious past, confirm sources from the party.

The three leaders who tried to meet Arvind Kejriwal today to discuss the same issue were thrown out. They staged a protest outside Kejriwal's camp office in Ludhiana and criticised him.

Sources close to the party said there are allegations against AAP leaders for selling tickets between Rs 1.5 crore to Rs 2 crores and have ignored the genuine party workers.

Meanwhile the party currently brainstorming the issue has said that it may cancel the tickets, once allegations are sustained with evidences.
