Ansar, the main accused in the Delhi Jahangirpuri violence, is at the centre of an escalating political fight with the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accusing each other of links with him. AAP leader Atishi tweeted today that "Ansar is a BJP leader", a say after the BJP's Manoj Tiwari alleged he had links with Delhi's ruling party. The party also released photos that showed Ansar with BJP leaders.
