Sacked AAP Minister Sandeep Kumar’s police custody extended

“… A woman was harassed by men occupying constitutional posts”.

“(NCW Chairperson) Lalitha Kumaramangalam was gracious enough to accept that complaint and asked her office to register a complaint and initiate action against snooping”, he said.

“If you want to hang me, hang me”.

Reacting to the summon, Ashutosh alleged that Kumaramangalam was acting on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party as the chairperson was a spokesperson and executive member of the party.

After meeting the panel’s chief, Ashutosh said he appeared before the NCW because he has “faith in the Constitution of this country and the institutions established by it”. “We have asked him to come on September 8”. “We won’t mind people criticising our developmental work or policies but someone stooping down to such a level is unexpected”, he said. “BJP rules and governs the State, they should see to it that proper inquiry is conducted into such acts”, Aam Aadmi Party Goa Convener Valmiki Naik said.

She also said that NCW didn’t find AAP leader’s reply “satisfactory”. NCW, nation’s top women rights body had issued a notice to the leader after he wrote a column in wake of the recent Sandeep Kumar sex scandal.

The poster has pictures of AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Sandeep Singh, Somnath Bharti, Ashutosh and Sharad Chauhan with an underlying statement that highlights the corrupt and heinous practices they have engaged to get political mileage.

The protesters distributed autobiographies of Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru at AAP office as a symbolic protest against Ashutosh’s remarks in a controversial blog in which he supported expelled party MLA Sandeep Kumar, who has been arrested on rape charge, drawing parallels with Gandhi and Nehru, among others. A trial court today extended his police custody by a day.
