The 23-year-old man who fired shots in the air near the Shaheen Bagh protest site last week is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party, Delhi Police claimed on Tuesday. Rajesh Deo, a senior crime branch officer said investigators had recovered photographs from Kapil Gujjar's phone after his arrest that placed him in the company of AAP leaders. During his interrogation, Deo told reporters, Kapil had disclosed that he and his father had joined Arvind Kejriwal's party a year ago.
Deo's statement - that came minutes after photographs of Kapil Gujjar at an AAP event were leaked -- is expected to give the Bharatiya Janata Party ammunition to accuse AAP of orchestrating the firing incidents to target the BJP and its leaders.
