Asim Khan, however, sensed conspiracy by his political opponents and said that he will reveal the complete plot in a week in front of the media.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said the case was being referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The audio tape was played at Kejriwal’s conference in which Khan is purportedly heard demanding Rs. 6 lakh for the construction of a building in his constituency. When I came out of that meeting and switched on my phone, I learnt what had happened in the press conference.
Defending the charges of corruption framed against him, AAP minister, Asim Khan, held a press conference, showing him to be a victim of AAP’s internal politics. The decision has been taken with a heavy heart as there was a lot of trust involved. That action was taken on the corrupt minister within 24 hours of the complaint is a new benchmark in Indian Politics. The complainant has sent us a 1-hour audio clip.
“We won’t tolerate any corruption, even if it is by our ministers or legislators”, said Kejriwal, flanked by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and official spokesman Nagendar Sharma. “I was cut off from the outside world as my mobile was switched off”, Khan said. First-time MLA from Ballimaran, Imran Hussain, will replace Khan. “One third of its ministers in less than 8 months have been caught on corruption and had to be removed”, he said.
Why frame such a big conspiracy?
Khan said he was being sacrificed for someone else’s benefit. I was asked to resign at 3.30 PM.
Expressing shock over the entire incident, he said, “I was forced to write my own resignation”.
“I swear by Allah that Asim Khan has never done such a thing”.
Kejriwal government was formed with huge belief in the public and believed that, it would abolish corruption.
