Delhi AAP Worker Sandeep Bhardwaj Didn’t Commit Suicide, He Was Murdered, Claims Manoj Tiwari

New Delhi, Nov 25: Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari on Friday claimed that AAP worker Sandeep Bhardwaj did not commit suicide, but was murdered.

Bhardwaj, the AAP's Trade Wing Secretary, was found dead in his house in Rajouri Garden on Thursday, having allegedly committed suicide, according to the police. Sandeep Bhardwaj Dead: AAP Leader Found Hanging at His Rajouri Garden Residence in Delhi, Probe Underway (Video).

No suicide note was found from the spot and investigations are currently underway.

Addressing a press conference here, Tiwari said the information into the case so far does not indicate towards suicide.

"That's why we demand that there should be a high-level inquiry so that the real reason can be clarified by getting to the bottom of the case," he added.

The BJP MP went on to allege that Bhardwaj, one of the founding members of the AAP, had been assured a ticket by the party for the December 4 MCD polls. Delhi Government School Scam: Vigilance Directorate Recommends Probe Into Rs 1300 Crore Classroom Construction Fraud.

"But when the time came to give the tickets, they were bought and sold... Bhardwaj could not tolerate this and his hopes were shattered forcing him to commit suicide which is equal to murder. For this Arvind Kejriwal and the entire top leadership of AAP are responsible," he said.

He went on to say that "forcing a worker to commit suicide by those who talk of fanatical honesty is shameful and the BJP strongly condemns it".
