Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday defended law minister Somnath Bharti, asserting his cabinet colleague did not tamper with evidence in a case he was handling last year. But the BJP and Congress attacked Bharti and the former demanded he quit. Bharti too defended himself.
According to a media report, an order was passed by then CBI special judge Poonam A Bamba in which she pulled up Bharti and his client Pawan Kumar — facing prosecution on corruption charges — after the CBI accused them of influencing a prosecution witness by speaking to him on phone and discussing the case.
"Somnath Bharti was trying to save a junior level officer and the sting operation that has been done is being called tampering of evidence by the judges," Kejriwal told reporters.
