New Delhi: Amid allegations posed by the Bharatiya Janata Party of abetting suicide on the Arvind Kejriwal-led government, a day after AAP trade wing secretary Sandeep Bharadwaj was found hanging in his house, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia refuted the claims and said that it is extremely wrong to connect the unfortunate death with a ticket. This comes after AAP leader Sandeep Bharadwaj was found hanging at his Rajouri Garden residence on Thursday, as per the police. 

Initial findings say that the trade wing secretary committed suicide. However, BJP claims that he took his life after being denied a ticket by AAP for the upcoming Delhi MCD elections. 

"I believe it is not suicide but murder. Sandeep Bhardwaj was assured ticket. Evidence doesn`t make it look like suicide. It's also coming to the knowledge that a ticket for that seat was sold. Abetting suicide is also like murder. AAP chief and leadership have committed sin," said BJP leader Manoj Sisodia.
