The Aam Aadmi Party suspended Kapil Mishra from the party's primary membership on Monday. The decision was taken by its Political Affairs Committee (PAC) chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The decision comes a day after Mishra levelled allegations that Kejriwal had taken Rs 2 crore in cash from Delhi minister Satyendar Jain.

Earlier on Monday, Mishra had dared the party to sack him, even as he fired a fresh salvo at Kejriwal, alleging that a Rs 50 crore deal was made for the AAP chief’s brother-in-law.

He also submitted documents to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) against Kejriwal in connection with the water tanker scam, and said he has sought an appointment with the CBI on Tuesday to register a complaint.
