AAP MLA criticises Ashutosh over Sandeep Kumar’s sacking

New Delhi: The controversy involving Sandeep Kumar further rankled the AAP on Sunday as a party MLA shot off a letter to Arvind Kejriwal, criticising party leader Ashutosh’s stand and alleged that a “coterie” was damaging the party. Bijwasan MLA Devinder Sehrawat, who had earlier spoken out against the manner in which AAP had sacked Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, said the situation is getting indefensible and disgraceful and action needs to be taken to remove “rotten elements”. He said “justifications” put forth by Ashutosh for Kumar’s conduct were not “as per the acceptable value systems”. Kumar was arrested on Saturday night on rape and other charges hours after he surrendered before police following a complaint by a woman. (PTI)
