Kapil Mishra is all set to take on his former boss by making a formal complaint to the CBI on the allegation that he saw Mr Kejriwal take Rs. 2 crore from another minister, Satyendar Jain, at his home last Friday. Mishra was suspended by the party yesterday, shortly after he dared his leadership to expel him.
In a series of tweets, he said he would file an FIR on the “cash deal” between Mr Kejriwal and Mr Jain, another on “how Mr Jain has benefited close relatives of Mr Kejriwal in illegal land deals”.
Mishra has also threatened to file a third FIR on foreign tours using “illegal money” by AAP leaders including Mr Jain, Ashish Khetan and Sanjay Singh.
Mishra yesterday spoke to the anti-corruption branch or ACB of the Delhi police, which has been targeted by Mr Kejriwal ever since AAP came to power two years ago.
Despite his public pronouncements, ACB chief Mukesh Meena – whose acrimonious history with Mr Kejriwal and AAP is well-known – denied receiving any formal complaint.
Mishra also said yesterday that Mr Jain had told him about helping Mr Kejriwal’s brother-in-law with a 50-crore deal.
AAP tore into the former minister for naming Mr Kejriwal’s relative, who died on Monday morning. “Have some humanity. Not even two hours after the cremation, allegations are being made against the person,” said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Jain has emphatically denied the allegations and asserted that he was not even present at Mr Kejriwal’s residence on the day he was believed to have handed over the cash to the Chief Minister.AAP has accused Mr Mishra of making “baseless and wild allegations” after being sacked as minister.
