Kejriwal took Rs 2-cr from Delhi health minister, alleges Kapil Mishra

New Delhi, May 7: Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra alleged today that he witnessed his AAP colleague Satyendar Jain give party chief Arvind Kejriwal Rs 2 crore in cash.

Mishra added that he informed Delhi's Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) about this transaction immediately. Yesterday, when he went to meet the AAP chief, Mishra told him he's informed the ACB. Mishra implied that's why he was sacked from his ministerial posts yesterday by Kejriwal.

"Day before yesterday, at Kejriwal's house I saw Satyendar Jain give Kejriwal Rs 2 crore in cash," said Mishra. Jain is health and PWD minister in the Kejriwal government.

"I asked him 'What is this? What is this for?' He (Kejriwal) refused to answer. And then he said 'In politics things like this happen that can only be talked about later,'" Mishra said today at a press conference at Rajghat.

"I couldn't sleep all night after this," Mishra added.

Mishra said he "had to" tell Delhi's Anti Corruption Bureau about this immediately.

"After seeing the cash with my own eyes, there is no way I could be quiet. I don't care about my political position or even my life. I couldn't take this lying down," Mishra said.

Mishra said that he's the only minister who's not being investigated for anything. He added that unlike him, Jain's name has come up in corruption cases.

"Satyendar Jain's name has come up in cases to do with black money and money laundering. He's being investigated by the CBI," said Mishra. The AAP leader was referring to a CBI inquiry into Jain for naming his architect daughter to an important committee on health and sending her to IIM Ahmedabad for a course meant for hospital administrators.

Immediately after the press conference, Mishra tweeted saying "I saw it day before yesterday and yesterday morning raised my voice against it openly. It wa impossible to wait even a day." He was referring to the alleged transaction he witnessed at Kejriwal's house.

Mishra further said "The day Satyendar Jain goes to jail, everything I've said will come true. It's just a matter of a few days."

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
