In a major revelation, sacked AAP minister Kapil Mishra alleged he saw Health minister Satyendra Jain pay Rs 2 crore to CM Arvind Kejriwal.
He also said that Kejriwal told him such things happened in politics.
"Jain had told me that he settled land deals worth Rs 50. I have been sacked after I spoke out," Mishra said.
Earlier, he met the Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Sunday morning.
Mishra took to Twitter to say that "i have witnessed HIM taking illegal cash.. have shared all details with Lt. Gov." without naming the person.
On his removal, he said he has not received any official confirmation about his removal. "Even L-G hasn't received any communication. It is only in media," he said.

Mishra was axed from the Cabinet on Saturday, days after he sided with senior AAP leader Kumar Vishwas who has been at loggerheads with the party leadership.
His sacking also highlighted the simmering tension between the leadership and Vishwas, which could snowball into a major crisis for the poll-battered AAP.
The party also inducted two new faces -- Seemapuri MLA Rajendra Pal Gautam and Najafgarh legislator Kailash Gahlot -- taking the number of ministers in the Arvind Kejriwal-led Cabinet to seven.
However, they have not been alloted any portfolio yet.
A senior official said the decision to remove Mishra was taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Mishra became the fourth AAP minister to be sacked after Jitendra Singh Tomar, Asim Ahmed Khan and Sandeep Kumar, since the AAP stormed to power in 2015.
The official said Mishra was removed after it was found that consumers were receiving "inflated" water bills.
