AAP: No substantial proof on V.K. Singh over murder

Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh said on Thursday that Pradeep Chauhan, who has been accused by Union minister V.K. Singh’s wife of blackmail, met him on Sunday and claimed that he has “evidence” against two Union ministers of plotting a murder. But the audio and video did not have anything substantial evidence, the AAP leader said. Mr Singh told a news agency that Mr Chauhan also wanted an AAP ticket for the Punjab elections.

“He (Pradeep Chauhan) came to my office on Sunday. He said he is a nephew of Gen. V.K. Singh (Retd) and has worked for him from Sahibabad during the elections,” Sanjay Singh said. He added that he has evidence against two Union ministers of hatching a conspiracy to get a few people murdered and assured that he has audio and video evidence of the same. “When I asked him to show the audio and video evidence, there was nothing substantial in them,” the AAP leader added.

Following the claims of Mr Chauhan, Sanjay Singh called up a close relative of the minister of state for external affairs to confirm if he was really a nephew. “A close family member said that Mr Chauhan is not his nephew,” he said.

The AAP leader said that Mr Chauhan wanted his support to “expose” the minister and also demanded a party ticket from Punjab for the coming Assembly elections.
