A delegation of Delhi BJP leaders today met Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar and lodged a complaint against sacked AAP minister Sandeep Kumar as well as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, accusing them of "misusing their public authority against women".

The complainants including BJP MP Parvesh Verma, Manjinder Singh Sirsa and other party leaders met the commissioner at PHQ and urged him for registration of an FIR against Kumar who was removed as minister from Kejriwal government after a CD containing objectionable content and purportedly showing him in compromising position with a woman surfaced.

The BJP leaders also demanded "legal action" against Kejriwal and Sisodia for allegedly "protecting" Kumar.

In separate complaints lodged with Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB), RTI activist Vivek Garg and BJP MLA OP Sharma demanded a probe against Kumar.

The decision to remove 36-year-old Kumar was taken at a high-level meeting attended by top AAP leaders last night.

Kumar today alleged that he was being targeted under a "conspiracy" as he was a Dalit and demanded a probe into the issue.
