Naming Atishi, Durgesh Pathak and Sanjay Singh, he alleged that they took his original documents on the pretext of fielding him in the polls but refused to hand them back. The Aam Aadmi Party, for its part, termed Hasan a "dedicated, loyal and hardworking worker" and said it "sympathises" with all such members who could not get a ticket for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections.

"AAP leaders have taken my original documents, including my bank passbook, on the pretext of giving me a ticket but they are not returning the documents. Tomorrow is the last day to file the nominations. If anything happens to me or if I die, Durgesh Pathak and Atishi will be responsible," Hasan said in a live video on social media from atop the tower in Gandhi Nagar.

"Atishi, Durgesh Pathak and Sanjay Singh sold the tickets for Rs 2 crore to Rs 3 crore. They are all corrupt leaders. They returned my documents only after I climbed this tower," he told reporters after getting down. The former AAP councillor said he will file his nomination papers soon after deciding "whether to fight the elections independently or switch over to some other party".
