New Delhi, July 29 (IBNS) : Asim Ahmed Khan, who was sacked from Delhi cabinet last year, has alleged that he and his family were getting "death threats" from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and some of his partymen.

The startling allegation is is almost an echo of a similar charge Kejriwal levelled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi only a day ago. 

Aam Aadmi Party lawmaker Asim Ahmed Khan was sacked from his ministerial post  on charges of taking bribe of Rs. six lakh to allow the construction of a building.

"For 9 to 10 months, I have been facing death threats and even my family is at risk... Kejriwal and some of his partymen are hatching a conspiracy to get me killed,"  Khan alleged at a press conference.
 

"I have been issued death threats over phone and also in person. I have already filed complaints with the police. I had even written a letter on May 2 to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh telling my case and also sent it to the LG," he claimed.
 
"Through this press conference, I would also like to request the Home Minister to provide security to me and my family," he said, distributing copies of the letter to the media. "I have in my possession some of the audio and video recordings on the Kejriwal government, and I will soon make those evidences public, and expose the real face of Kejriwal."
 

In response to Khan's allegations, AAP spokesman Dipak Bajpai said, "He has chosen a good season to come up with these baseless charges and I am sure the police will not waste a minute in making yet another arrest.
