Woman in 'sex CD' lodges complaint against AAP MLA

September 3, 2016

New Delhi, Sep 3: Spelling fresh trouble for Sandeep Kumar, who was sacked by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday night, the lady in the `sex CD` on Saturday filed a case against the ex-legislator at a Delhi police station.

arvindShe claimed that Kumar had given her a 'cold drink spiked with drugs' and after drinking it, she lost her consciousness. The CD was made after Kumar was appointed as the minister, said the lady.

Reacting to the claims, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted:

Her claims came hours after the Aam Aadmi Party suspended the primary membership of Sandeep Kumar.

The AAP on Wednesday night sacked former Social Welfare and Women and Child Development Minister Sandeep Kumar after a video emerged showing him in an "objectionable position" with a woman.

On Thursday, Sandeep Kumar defended himself, saying he had resigned on his own and that he had been targeted because he was a Dalit.

In a bid to rebut the charge and accusations from elsewhere, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said he was "very pained" by what Sandeep Kumar did, which led to his sacking on grounds of morality even as the dropped minister alleged a conspiracy against him because he was a Dalit.

However, later yesterday, AAP spokesperson Ashutosh said Kumar's "consensual act" was not wrong and his sacking from the Cabinet was aimed at "perception management".

Ashutosh, in a blog on NDTV, wrote that leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi had "lived with their desires beyond social boundaries".

The West Bengal government has suspended two women teachers in East Burdwan district on the charge of teaching pre-primary students from an English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to the people with a dark complexion.

While presenting the alphabets with corresponding words and images, the book says U is for "Ugly". The illustration printed beside the letter is that of a boy with a dark complexion.

"The book is not part of the textbooks referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero-tolerance for acts which instil prejudices into the minds of students," Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters here on Thursday.

He said the two teachers of a local municipality-run school have been placed under suspension with immediate effect based on a preliminary investigation and stricter action would be taken against them later.

Though the school is now closed because of the lockdown, the matter came to light when the father of a student of the school was teaching him with the help of that book. He informed other parents and the education department was apprised of the issue, sources said.
