Women’s minister fired over ‘sex video’

DELHI’S women’s minister has been sacked after a “sex video” showing him kissing two women was leaked to the media, in the latest scandal involving the Indian capital’s government.

Women’s and children’s minister Sandeep Kumar was removed from his post by the Delhi chief minister late Wednesday shortly after the “objectionable” tape was sent to him and national television stations.

“We never try to cover up wrongdoings when evidence comes up against our ministers or party workers, unlike other parties,” chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said yesterday.

“Recd [received] objectionable CD of minister Sandeep Kr. AAP stands for propriety in public life,” Kejriwal said on Twitter, announcing the sacking and referring to his anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party.

Kumar, a married father of one and a member of the downtrodden Dalit caste, said he was the victim of a political conspiracy over the tape ostensibly showing him on a bed dressed only in his shorts kissing one of the women.
