Kejriwal Sacks Minister Asim Khan on TV Over Corruption Charge
Khan also paraded a man named Javed, who he claimed to be the owner of the house, from whom he had allegedly demanded Rs 6 lakh as bribe. The CBI has also requested the Maharashtra government to preserve physical samples taken from Mukerjea after her recent hospitalisation. “This interaction will hopefully motivate their families to stand by them in their crusade against corruption”, said a senior AAP functionary. “He (Khan) is being removed till the CBI probe is on”. He is not a common man… he is not a builder… he is not a media person.

That may or may not be true.
Asim Ahmed Khan, a businessman, became part of the Kejriwal cabinet after winning an unlikely victory against veteran Shoaib Iqbal in Matia Mahal.
How clueless was Kejriwal of what his Minister was up to that it needed an Hour Long Recording to expose his Corruption? He underlined that this was a decision of the AAP government, and that the media did not unearth this episode.
