The BJP on Saturday handed over Rs 1 lakh for the education of the daughter of AAP worker Soni Mishra, who committed suicide after her molester -- also a party worker -- was released on bail.

Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Satish Upadhyay handed over Rs 1 lakh Bank Deposit Receipt to Ashok Mishra, husband of the late Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) worker.

Soni committed suicide on July 20. She was allegedly unhappy over her party for not initiating any action against the alleged molester -- Ramesh Wadhwa.

She had made a police complaint on June 2 about Wadhwa harassing her. In her complaint, she has alleged Wadhwa of harassing her continuously and asking for sexual favours.

Wadhwa was arrested on June 3 and was granted police bail on June 4.

She resided here in outer Delhi's Narela area with her two daughters and other family members.
