New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has
sacked his social welfare minister, Sandeep Kumar, after receiving an
"objectionable CD" of him.
Party sources said a CD submitted to Mr Kejriwal purportedly showed the minister in a compromising position with two women and some objectionable photographs.
Late on Wednesday evening, Mr Kejriwal tweeted:Recd "objectionable" CD of minister Sandeep Kr. AAP stands for propriety in public life. That can't be compromised(1/2)

Delhi cabinet has 6 ministers -- each of them holds multiple portfolios. Besides social welfare, Mr Kumar also held the Women and Child Development portfolio.
In October last year, Mr Kejriwal had sacked Asim Ahmed Khan, 38, who was minister for food and environment. He had been caught asking for bribe.
"I will not even spare my son, Manish Sisodia or anyone else if he is corrupt," Mr Kejriwal had declared at the time.
In June 2015, Jitender Tomar resigned as law minister after he was accused of faking his college degree. He was replaced by Kapil Mishra, who, within two months, was replaced as law minister by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Last month, Mr Kejriwal had intervened on Twitter to abort a poorly conceived scheme of Mr Kumar to remove beggars from Delhi's roads.
Mr Kumar reportedly had plans to launch a drive to pick up beggars and move them to a state-run home. Social activists had said the plan lacked merit because it offered no rehabilitation prospects.
