Sacked Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra faints, taken to hospital

New Delhi: Sacked Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra on Sunday fainted during a press conference at his official residence here and was rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.

Mishra, who is on hunger strike since Wednesday at his official residence here, demanding that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should reveal the source of funding of the foreign trips of five Aam Aadmi Party leaders, fainted while making a presentation on the irregularities regarding the financial transactions of the party.

Mishra was removed as Delhi's Water Minister on March 6 in a sudden move and was later suspended from the AAP. He then said he saw Kejriwal taking Rs 2 crore from Health Minister Satyendra Jain.
