New Delhi: Suspended AAP leader Kapil Mishra on Friday levied fresh allegations against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and alleged a nexus between him Kejriwal and those involved in hawala transactions. Mishra, who is leaving no stone un-turned to put CM in trouble sought Kejriwal’s resignation in order to ensure fair probe into the allegations. "A false video was retweeted by Kejriwalji yesterday (Thursday) claiming that (Delhi businessman) Mukesh Kumar gave Rs 2 crore as donation to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2014," Mishra told the media. Mishra "challenged" the AAP Chief to tell the Income Tax department that his party received donation of Rs 2 crore from Mukesh Kumar. Claiming that the letterheads of the companies which made donations to AAP were fake, he also raised questions regarding the identity of Mukesh Kumar, and asked, "Why is Mukesh Kumar being made a scapegoat by Kejriwal? Who is Kejriwal trying to save?" Mishra alleged that Mukesh Kumar became CEO of one of the companies; days before the Delhi civic polls though the donations were made in 2014. Not just Kejriwal, Mishra also attacked Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia,  and said, "Mukesh Kumar was a VAT defaulter with the Delhi government, and his company was sent notices, yet this company was given tenders by the government." He claimed Kejriwal and Sisodia were aware of the "corruption activities". Mishra revealed the name of one more person Hem Prakash Sharma, whose signatures were on two letter heads and said that he was the Additional Director of the companies alongwith Mukesh Kumar -- Skyline Metal and Alloys Pvt Ltd and Goldmine Buildcon Pvt Ltd. The sacked minister said that Hem Prakash Sharma was also Director in a company alongwith lawyer Rohit Tandon, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in December last year for converting black money into white. "This is the biggest proof of hawala nexus against Kejriwal," Mishra said.
