Married women’s and children’s minister Sandeep Kumar was removed from his post by the Delhi chief minister late on Wednesday shortly after the ‘objectionable’ tape was sent to him and national television stations.
Local news stations report Kumar, who is a father of one filmed the video, in which he appears topless, himself. It was leaked alongside a collection of photos showing him kissing different women.
‘We never try to cover up wrongdoings when evidence comes up against our ministers or party workers, unlike other parties,’ chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday.
Kumar on his part is denying the video.“This is a conspiracy against me because I was becoming a prominent face of the Dalit community in the city,” he told reporters on Thursday, referring to India’s lowest social Dalit caste.
“Check the authenticity of the CD. It is a matter of investigation, a conspiracy to suppress me.”
