BJP demands Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharati’s resignation

The BJP has demanded resignation of Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharati for his indictment in a corruption case.
Reports say he is under the scanner for tampering with evidence.
This has emerged from an order passed by then CBI Special Judge Poonam A Bamba in August last year.

The lawyer turned politician Mr Bharti and his client were fighting a corruption case in a CBI court in Delhi when the judge said their conduct is not only highly objectionable and unethical, but also amounts to tampering with evidence.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has defended Bharti on the allegation of influencing a witness and tamper with evidence in a case he handled last year.

Talking to reporters in New Delhi, Kejriwal said that this was a bank fraud case and no evidence was tampered.
He said that he is ready to share the evidence found during the sting operation against the bank.
