"The Ugandan High Commission has confirmed that they did not write to anyone in the Delhi government," foreign ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said today, after Mr Kejriwal said that a "woman from the Ugandan mission" had met Mr Bharti and praised his midnight raid targeting African women over allegations of a sex and drug ring.
"The woman came to meet Somnath Bharti last evening and told him 'you did very well, many women from our country are being trafficked'. She brought this letter," Mr Kejriwal said waving the letter as he justified a sit-in protest demanding action against Delhi Police officers for not making arrests at Mr Bharti's instance.
Somnath Bharti said the letter vindicated the controversial raid on Wednesday night at Khirki Extension in his constituency in south Delhi. Annexed to the letter written by 'Defence Advisor GJ Etyang', is the purported account of a woman who was duped into coming to India on 30 May. Her name and passport details were redacted.
"The girl had hoped to be offered a job...only to be introduced into sex working (sic)" said the letter. "The purpose of this communication is to draw your attention and possibly interrogate the lady."
The Centre said that Uganda's High Commission staff are currently not in New Delhi, warning the media against giving credence to "rumours".
The AAP, however, said they could identify the woman who came to them.
The Delhi Police yesterday registered an FIR, without naming anyone, after a Ugandan woman complained that a group of people from a political party broke into her house, threatened and molested her. Four African women were allegedly abused that night.
Two of them have alleged that the crowd forced them to urinate in public for samples to be tested for drugs, according to senior lawyer Harish Salve
