Photos of the Shaheen Bagh shooter with senior Aam Aadmi Party leaders raised a political storm late on Tuesday evening, with the BJP claiming it proved the ruling party's complicity in the protests against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act. AAP said it was all a BJP conspiracy and the police was acting under the orders of Union home minister Amit Shah. AAP's Sanjay Singh alleged that the Delhi Police is acting under political orders and questioned how these photos could be leaked to the media.
