In a shocking turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday sacked SC/ST Welfare and Women and Child Welfare minister Sandeep Kumar after he was purportedly shown in compromising position with two women in a CD, which is in ABP News possession.The controversial CD was sent to ABP News along with a complaint letter. ABP News received the CD at 5 pm. We showed the CD to Kejriwal at 8 pm. At 8:30 pm, Kejriwal sacked minister Sandeep Kumar.In the 9 minute long CD, Sandeep Kumar is seen with two women. The CD contains pictures of Sandeep Kumar in compromising position with one woman. The other part of the CD contains a video with another woman.The complaint letter we received was sent by unknown person."The CD came to us half-an-hour back. We saw the CD and took the decision to sack him immediately. AAP has zero tolerance for crime and corruption," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told reporters tonight.Kumar represents Sultanpur Majra constituency.On October 9 last year, Kejriwal had sacked the then Environment and Food Minister Asim Ahmed Khan for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 6 lakh from a builder and recommended a CBI probe into the case.In June last year, then Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar had resigned after he was arrested on the charge of possessing fake degrees.Reacting to the development, Delhi BJP said Kejriwal must resign accepting moral responsibility for picking up the morally corrupt MLA in the Cabinet."He must be rewarded for handing over Delhi's governance to people with corrupt values. This has never happened in any government," said Delhi BJP leader Vijender Gupta.DPCC president Ajay Maken too attacked the AAP saying three of the six Ministers who were initially inducted were caught for alleged "Fake degree, corruption, moral turpitude.""But who chose them? Why aren't they expelled from Party?," he asked in a tweet.Another Congress leader Mukesh Sharma also hit out at AAP and sought the resignation of the Delhi Chief Minister."Prior to this other AAP ministers have also been removed, and now this scandal only shows, that it's the story of Ali Baba and forty thieves, as there are several others in AAP government, against whom cases are due," he alleged."This government is a corrupt and Arvind Kejriwal should immediately resign from his post on moral grounds," he said.
