New Delhi: Amid Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra’s allegation that the Aam Aadmi Party is shielding Mohammed Tahir Hussain purportedly involved in the North-East Delhi violence, dozens of packets filled with a chemical were on Thursday found from the terrace of the Municipal Councillor. It is believed that the chemical in the packets is acid.

Earlier today, crates of petrol bombs and sacks full of stones were allegedly found from the rooftop of the AAP leader’s residence.

Videos are being circulated on social media showing Hussain, who has not been named as an instigator by the Delhi Police yet, walking on the terrace of his house while his supporters seem to be pelting stones from the terrace of his house. In fact, petrol bombs were hurled at the house next to Tahir's residence, setting it ablaze, allege the neighbours.

Notably, the family members of Ankit Sharma, the Intelligence Bureau staffer whose body was found in a drain on Wednesday, have claimed that their son was killed by the people who were pelting stones from the building belonging to Tahir Hussain in Chand Bagh area of the North-East Delhi.

As per Ankit's father Devendra, his son returned home at around 5:30 pm on Tuesday and left a short while later to gauge the situation outside.

"We kept searching for him till 3 am on Wednesday. Later at around 10 am, we got information that his body was lying inside the Chand Bagh drain. We never thought that he will be killed," he said.

Unable to stop her tears, Ankit’s mother said: "When he stepped outside the house, people from other community caught him and killed him by using bricks and knife.”

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra on Thursday blamed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Municipal Councillor Tahir Hussain for the killing of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma, whose body was recovered from North-East Delhi's Chand Bagh area here on Wednesday. He also alleged that Hussain was in constant touch with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Kapil Misra too took to Twitter to target the AAP.

"The killer is Tahir Hussain. He dragged not only Ankit Sharma but also four other boys. Out of them, three of them have been found dead. In the video, Tahir Hussain can be seen with the masked boys carrying sticks, stones, bullets and petrol bombs. Tahir Hussain was constantly talking to Kejriwal and AAP leaders," tweeted Mishra.

Tahir Hussain has defended himself, claiming that he himself was a victim of mob violence. Saying that his home was taken over by miscreants, Hussain has claimed that he was rescued by the Delhi Police two days ago.
