M M Khan murder: Girri on hunger strike outside CM's residence

BJP MP from East Delhi Mahesh Girri today sat on a hunger strike outside the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, demanding that he prove his allegations regarding the murder of NDMC official M M Khan.
Kejriwal, in a letter to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, had accused him of trying to "save" Girri and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) vice-chairman Karan Singh Tanwar in Khan's murder.
Girri had asked Kejriwal for a public debate over his allegations.
In a letter to Kejriwal on June 16, Girri had invited him to Constitution Club to produce "evidence" he had against him in the M M Khan murder case on Sunday 4 pm.

Kejriwal did not accept the challenge following which Girri, accompanied by his party supporters, reached the Chief Minister's flagstaff Road residence and sat on hunger strike.
The BJP MP has asked Kejriwal to either prove his charge against him or "resign" from the post of Chief Minister.

"If he manages to prove, then I will quit politics, otherwise he should do so," Girri said.

Hitting back at Girri, AAP's Delhi unit convenor Dilip Pandey said an open debate with Kejriwal would not solve the problem, instead the BJP MP should be ready for a fair investigation.
The party also reiterated its demand for arrest of Girri and Tanwar in connection with the murder.

The owner of the hotel, Ramesh Kakkar, was arrested on charges of murder.
AAP MLA from Okhla Amanatullah questioned Girri's ties with Kakkar.
Pandey also alleged that Tanwar took money from Kakkar to get Khan transferred and the BJP leader had also threatened the NDMC officer.
Pandey claimed that a letter was written by Tanwar to Khan. AAP and people of Delhi want to know the content of the letter which has since gone missing, he claimed.
