Sandeep Bamzai, editor Mail Today tweets: We have been had, our deepest apologies to Mr Shanti Bhushan whose purported article has been carried on our edit page this morning.

If you've just joined us, this is what happened: An op-ed piece purportedly written by Shanti Bhushan in Mail Today criticises Arvind Kejriwal and says the AAP chief hid his political ambitions under the garb of the anti-corruption movement.

Shanti Bhushan, a Supreme Court advocate and founding member of AAP says he has not written it and that the article is forged. Speaking to TV channels he said the BJP could be behind this and it was nothing short of a political conspiracy against AAP.

Bhushan, if you recollect, donated Rs 1 crore to AAP.

This is what Bhushan had tweeted earlier today: "The article published in mail today not written by me..Hv filed the legal notice,will sue them."

Now, Mail Today editor, Sandeep Bamzai concedes that the article is not genuine and was not written by Bhushan.
