Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday admitted that he had not demanded a CBI probe into the mysterious death of his party colleague Santosh Koli.

Mail Today had in its Friday edition reported the allegations labelled by Koli's father that Kejriwal despite coming to power did nothing for a "fair probe" into the incident that resulted in her death.

Kejriwal, who is on a two-day campaign tour of Haryana, told Mail Today that AAP had raised its voice right from the day she died but did not seek a CBI probe. "Despite the fact that the incident took place outside our jurisdiction, we demanded a fair probe from UP police but not a CBI inquiry into the matter," he said.

Koli was killed after an unidentified car rammed the bike, in which she was riding pillion, on June 30 last year near the Kaushambi metro station. She was admitted to a Ghaziabad hospital and later shifted to Gurgaon's Fortis hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries on August 7.

Kejriwal's admission assumes significance in the wake of a sting operation showing Koli's parents hinting at "complete neglect from AAP, including Kejriwal, on the issue".

Koli's father believes the incident to be a planned murder. He is shown in the tape as alleging that no one from AAP, including Kejriwal, had come to his house to console him or his family.

"Kejriwal didn't demand a CBI probe during his 49 days as the Delhi CM," he alleged. Santosh's relatives admitted to not having demanded any kind of investigation from Kejriwal. "He sat on dharna to support his law minister Somnath Bharti had no time for the mother or father of a person who had been associated with him and his NGO for 12 years," he said.

The heartbroken father alleged that Kejriwal used her name and photograph for getting sympathy but did nothing to get her justice.
