New Delhi, BJP MP from East Delhi Mahesh Girri today sat on a hunger strike outside the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, demanding that he prove his allegations regarding the murder of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) official M M Khan.

“The hunger strike is going to continue. The Delhi Chief Minister has levelled baseless allegations of my involvement in NDMC official MM Khan’s murder,” said Girri.

“I will not even move from here till he comes out and I get justice,” he added.

Mr Kejriwal, in a letter to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, had accused him of trying to save Mr Girri and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) vice-chairman Karan Singh Tanwar in Mr Khan's murder.

Girri had asked Kejriwal for a public debate over his allegations.

Mr Khan, an estate officer of NDMC, was shot dead in Jamia Nagar on May 16, a day before he was scheduled to pass the final order on the lease terms of a hotel which was functioning on a property leased out by the civic body.
