Sacked Delhi cabinet minister Sandeep Kumar on Thursday said that he was not in the 'objectionable' CD which was aired on TV channels on Wednesday. He said that he was being targeted because he belonged to a Dalit community.

"I am not in that video. Investigation must be done," said sacked AAP minister, Sandeep Kumar.

This is a conspiracy against me because I am a #Dalit," he said.

Kumar, who represents Sultanpur Majra constituency, is the second AAP minister to be sacked after Asim Ahmed Khan who was Minister for Food and Supplies.
