Sex Scandal: Another jolt for AAP as woman alleges rape, Sandeep Kumar surrenders

Saturday, 3 September 2016 (18:15 IST)
New Delhi: In a fresh twist to the 'controversial CD' featuring Sandeep Kumar, which led to his sacking as the State Social Welfare Minister and his suspension from the Aam Aadmi Party, one of the two women seen in the video today filed a complaint against the AAP MLA, alleging that she was sedated and sexually exploited by him.
 

The woman reached Sultanpuri police station this afternoon and lodged a complaint against Kumar. She claimed the video was one-year-old, contrary to the claims that the video was shot around four to five years back. The complainant said she met Sandeep in his office with regard to her ration card. She alleged that he also promised a job to her.

The woman complained that she was drugged and sexually exploited by the Minister, when she had gone to his office to collect her ration card. She alleged that when she went to his office, the Minister took her into his room, where she was drugged and sexually exploited by him.

Minutes after the woman approached the police, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who had dumped Sandeep from his Cabinet following surfacing of the sex CD, demanded exemplary punishment for him, ''If the woman's allegations are correct, this is v serious. Strongest exemplary punishment should be given to Sandeep,'' he wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter. Earlier, in a blog titled 'The Sex Was Consensual, Private Act.

Why AAP Punished Its Man,' journalist-turned-AAP Spokesperson Ashutosh defended Sandeep, saying that the leaked video clearly established that both individuals knew each other and consented to sex and it doesn't amount to any crime. Ashutosh's views on the 'scandal' were opposite to that of Mr Kejriwal, who had called Kumar 'betrayer of the AAP movement' and a 'rotten fish.'
