Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday ousted Sandeep Kumar from the party after a CD bearing a nine-minute of latter in an objectionable position with women was delivered to him. The video allegedly shows Kumar, 34 in unacceptable situation with two women along with a few off-putting pictures.

Meanwhile, complainant Om Prakash alleged that the CD was handed over to the AAP convener 15 days back, however, he refused to take any action at that time. Defending this, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, “We received a CD with objectionable content. Within half an hour of receiving the CD, the minister was sacked.”

Reacting to the alleged sex tape of the AAP member, Twitter trolled the party and its leaders subsequently. Here are some of the reactions:

Sources in the AAP also said it was a clear message to the party. “This is to give out a message that we will not shield anyone and apply the highest standards of scrutiny to everyone. It might be said that in the case of Jitendra Tomar and Sandeep Kumar, we were forced to take action because the allegations were already in the public domain. But in the case of Asim Ahmed Khan, only we had the evidence and could have kept it all under wraps,” said a Political Action Committee (PAC) member.
