Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Aam Adami Party‘s Punjab Convenor caught taking cash for assembly ticket in a sting operation. The whole incident is covered in a video that shows a man is leaving cash with packet Sucha Singh Chhotepur.
While talking with media, he did not questioned the authenticity of the video, but at the same time, he said the video did not prove that he did something wrong. While talking with HT, he said “A party supporter met me on the day party convener Arvind Kejriwal had come for a court hearing in Amritsar (on July 29). He was referred to me by two senior party leaders. He talked about general things and then tried to hand me a packet which he said was fund for the party. I refused to take it. But, while leaving, he left it on my suitcase, which I did not realize,”. “It’s now apparent that he was filming the meeting. But, was the money being given for something that I had promised to do? Was it quid pro quo? The answer is ‘no’.”
Commenting on the issue of the audio clip, Chhotepur said he was not aware of the identity of the man who recorded the video, “He took advantage of my straightforwardness. He said he was a party worker and was working very hard. Then he said that in TV discussions he found it difficult to justify Mann’s drinking problem”, he told HT.
