Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Tahir Hussain, whose four-storey building was allegedly used to hurl petrol bombs, acid and stones during the Delhi violence, has been booked by Delhi Police for killing an Intelligence Bureau (IB) staffer.

The Delhi Police has lodged an FIR on the basis of a complaint filed by the family of the IB staffer alleging that Tahir is responsible for his murder.

Autopsy report has revealed the IB staffer was stabbed multiple times before he died.

When India Today visited the building located in Khajuri Khas area of North East Delhi, which reportedly is AAP's Tahir area, sacks of stones and bricks, petrol bombs and acid were kept on the terrace.

Primary investigation established that this same building was used for stone-pelting, hurling petrol bombs and acid during the violence.

Over 100 shops were torched and houses were vandalised during the violence.

Tahir Hussain has denied the allegations and claimed he is the one who called the police.

However, many videos have surfaced in which the building can be seen being used by the rioters. When India Today spoke to the locals, they confirmed that Tahir has been seen in the building.

To verify the claims, Indian Today during its investigation found that on the second floor of the building, many posters of Tahir Hussain Khan have been pasted.

Sources said, Tahir will be called for questioning by the police.

Arvind Kejriwal has also suspended Tahir from the party.
