September 03, 2016 23:24

Sacked Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar was on Saturday arrested by Delhi police after a woman, who purportedly figured in an "objectionable" CD, filed a rape complaint against him.

Kumar was booked on charges of rape, transmission of material containing sexually explicit act and taking illegal gratification.

Earlier in the day, AAP's Political Affairs Committee suspended the 36-year-old first-time MLA from the party and referred the matter to its disciplinary committee.

Kumar was removed from the council of ministers on August 31 by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after the CD purportedly showing him in compromising position with a woman surfaced.
