“If those involved in the riots are found from the AAP, give them double punishment,” Kejriwal said. “There should be no politics on national security”
New Delhi: Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said no rioter from any party should be spared and that there should be no politics on this issue. He was replying to a question on the alleged involvement of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councilor Tahir Hussain in the violence. Hussain is the party’s corporator from the Nehru Vihar area of Mustafabad.

Ankit Sharma, a resident of Khajuri Khas locality in northeast Delhi, had been missing since Tuesday evening and his body was found from a drain in Chand Bagh on Wednesday. His father Ravinder Sharma, who works for the Delhi Police, has blamed Hussain for his son’s death.
On the other hand, BJP leader Kapil Mishra shared a video alleging that stone-pelters led by Hussain had killed Ankit Sharma. Mishra also alleged that Hussain was speaking to Kejriwal through the rampage.
However, Hussain has dismissed the allegations and claimed he was himself a victim of mob violence and that he was rescued by the police on Tuesday. Hussain also claimed that a mob had taken over his house, using it to launch attacks and that he has not returned home since the incident.
