AAP leader Sanjay Singh said Kumar, who serves as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's principal secretary, has a clean service record that spans over 27 years, in which allegations of corruption were never made against him.

The Centre has declared as "unconstitutional and illegal" the constitution of an inquiry commission into the DDCA affairs by the Delhi government.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the inquiry commission ordered by his government will probe alleged irregularities in DDCA even if it is struck down by the Centre.
Kejriwal claimed that the action amounts to 'unjustified interference' as the inquiry is 'perfectly' legal and Union minister Arun Jaitley should cooperate with the inquiry commission and stop 'misusing' the LG office.
The Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) named Gate 2 of the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi as the 'Virender Sehwag Gate'.

The DDCA decided to file a defamation case against Delhi CM Kejriwal and suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad for making "wild and baseless" allegations of corruption against the body.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley recorded his statement in a criminal defamation complaint filed against Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders, accusing them of making false statements against him.
The AAP alleged that Arun Jaitley, as president of the DDCA in 2011, had "pressurised" the then police commissioner to "close" an investigation involving a cricket club of a private bank.

'So, why did Kejriwal, the crusader against corruption, choose such an officer as his principal secretary? He has to explain. After that, he realises that Kumar's case is not picking up, so he changes tracks and picks up Jaitley for the DDCA case.' 'I personally feel this is part of Kejriwal's strategy. If he has evidence against Jaitley, then why doesn't he file a first information report like he did in the petroleum case?'
