Official’s murder: AAP demands sacking of Karan Singh Tanwar as NDMC V-C

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday demanded immediate sacking of Karan Singh Tanwar for his complicity in the murder of NDMC official Mohammed Moin Khan. BJP leader Karan Singh Tanwar is a suspect in NDMC Estate Officer Khan’s murder. The party also demanded for his arrest and his custodial interrogation to ascertain his role in the gruesome murder. Tanwar is a Vice Chairman of the NDMC.

Addressing a press conference, AAP’s Delhi Convenor Dilip Pandey released the letter written by BJP leader Tanwar to the Lieutenant Governor demanding Mohammad Moin Khan’s removal from his position in the NDMC, because he had refused to take bribe to benefit a defaulter hotelier and was protecting the interest of the NDMC. 

Pandey said, “Moin Khan was a brave and honest officer. Police officers have told the media that Khan did not succumb to pressure and did not accept bribe to favour hotelier Ramesh Kakkar, facing a penalty of 140 crore rupees. Khan knew that it could endanger his life but he decided to stay firm.”

“Tanwar in his letter demanded Khan’s transfer and strict action against him. The ground is that he was favouring NDMC and not the hotelier, who was facing half a dozen cases of cheating, fraud and embezzlement.” said Pandey.

He further asked, “Is this what BJP does? Was protecting NDMC’s interest a crime for which Tanwar was demanding Khan’s removal and strict action against Khan? The letter clearly shows that Tanwar had undue interest in the deal and was blackmailing the officer. Now Khan has sacrificed his life for his commitment to honesty and will inspire generations to come. But AAP will take the issue to its logical end.”

AAP MLA from Okhla Amantullah Khan said that Moin Khan was so honest that he could not even pay fee for her daughters’ education. “Today when I met his youngest daughter, she said her father made the supreme sacrifice for the cause. Now it’s duty of every Indian to insure justice for him.”

Pandey said that Khan is martyr and AAP will leave no stone unturned to insure justice for Khan. 

He said AAP demands immediate sacking of Tanwar as Vice Chairman of the NDMC. “Police has to thoroughly investigate Tanwar’s call records and his financial dealings to get to the truth. If the BJP has to come clean in the case, it has to ensure strict action against Tanwar. If that does not happen, people of this country will think that corruption has been institutionalized in the BJP and Tanwar alone is not involved in such activities.
