AAP spars with Delhi L-G over Asha Kiran deaths; shelter home worker says residents ‘live without proper clothes, food’

An Asha Kiran shelter home in Delhi has become the focal point of a brewing political controversy after 14 inmates died within the span of 20 days. The diet of inmates was reduced significantly over the past few years with around 25 others now suffering from tuberculosis. The ruling AAP has sought a magisterial inquiry into the deaths and questioned Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena over the appointment of a previously "suspended" official as the administrator of the shelter home in Rohini.
