Kapil Mishra files 3 complaints with CBI, threatens hunger strike

Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Tuesday filed three complaints with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Minister Satyendar Jain and, five Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders who allegedly misused party funds on foreign trips.

The Karawal Nagar MLA, who was on Monday suspended from primary membership of the AAP, also threatened to launch a hunger strike from Wednesday if details of foreign visits by five AAP leaders are not made public by the party.

Mishra said he filed complaints with the CBI over the exchange of ₹2 crore between Jain and Kejriwal, a ₹50-crore land deal arranged for the chief minister's brother-in-law and five AAP leaders allegedly misusing party funds on foreign trips.

Earlier in the day, the AAP legislator wrote an open letter to his former "guru" Kejriwal to seek his blessings before filing the complaint against him.

He also dared Kejriwal to fight elections against him from any seat of his choice.

The former water minister had on Monday submitted documents to the Anti-Corruption Branch to back his allegations that Kejriwal had delayed the probe into the ₹400-crore tanker scam.
