New Delhi: In a big disclosure in Shaheen Bagh firing incident, Delhi police crime branch on Tuesday revealed that it has found pictures which indicate Shaheen Bagh shooter Kapil Gurjar's association with Aam Adami Party. The crime branch found these pictures in Kapil's mobile phone during investigation. 

Meanwhile, AAP leader Sanjay Singh said that investigation has not been completed yet, and a police officer is taking a party's name, at a time when the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in place which is unfair. He further also asserted that AAP will file a complaint to Election Commission (EC) against DCP Crime Branch Rajesh Deo.

AAP leader further also charged BJP in the matter and said how did BJP receive the photos even before it was released, adding, is BJP asking Delhi police to say all this and on whose direction is Rajesh Deo working? 

In the photos released by the police, Kapil can be seen taking the membership of AAP along with his father Gaje Singh. The photographs released by the police also showed him with AAP leaders Atishi Marlena and MP Sanjay Singh. Kapil is seen wearing AAP cap in these pictures which were taken in 2019.

Police claimed that along with Kapil, his several other friends joined AAP last year and can also be seen standing with him in the pictures. In another picture, Kapil's father can be seen with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The Delhi police informed that Kapil has deleted his Whatsaap account after the firing incident.

Kapil Gujjar is currently in the custody of Crime Branch which is further investigating in the matter. Kapil, 25, is a college dropout and he was arrested by Delhi Police after he fired two bullets in the air. Through technical surveillance and  CCTV footages, it was found that he came through the DND flyover via Maharani Bagh to Holy Family hospital where he adjusted his pistol and then went to Shaheen Bagh.

His father is a politician by profession who has contested Municipal Corporation election of Delhi (Jungpura in 2008 and Patparganj in 2012) as a candidate from the Bahujan Samaj Party. He lost in that election.

Earlier, Kapil's family members told Zee Media that he was angry at the protests which have been going on at Shaheen Bagh for the last 50 days because there was a wedding of his cousin and he had to take a detour to buy goods.
