JOIN US Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Friday claimed that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was linked to a money laundering racket that was badly hit by the Centre’s decision to scrap high-value currency notes.
Even as Mishra was making fresh disclosures, Delhi minister Satyender Jain filed a defamation suit against him and BJP-Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
Mishra had claimed that he had seen Jain giving Rs 2 crore in cash to Kejriwal on May 5 to cover up the tanker scam.
Addressing a press conference, Mishra accused Kejriwal of being involved in money laundering to raise donations for the AAP. He claimed that Kejriwal had opposed demonetisation because his men who were involved in money laundering operations were being raided by investigation agencies.
Mishra had said Mukesh Kumar, a Delhi-based businessman, who claimed to have donated Rs 2 crore to the AAP in 2014, was a front for black money offenders.
