Jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal assistant, Bibhav Kumar, has been terminated from his services. The Directorate of Vigilance Department made the decision, citing a case against Kumar, in which he was accused of obstructing government work.
In a statement, the vigilance department stated that Bibhav Kumar was sacked as a private secretary to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo "effective immediately". The department added that following detailed examination of Kumar's legal entanglements and a breach in following due procedures for his appointment, the decision was made to terminate him from his services.
Meanwhile, Delhi minister Raaj Kumar Anand on Wednesday resigned from his post along with Aam Aadmi Party's primary membership, citing his dissatisfaction over the party's policy on corruption, a clear reference to the liquor policy case in which key leaders, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia are arrested.
