Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia will be charged by the police with criminal conspiracy over the alleged attack on a top bureaucrat in February. Sources say the police have prepared a charge-sheet based on the evidence and statements of many and it is set to be filed soon.
Anshu Prakash chief secretary has alleged that he was manhandled and assaulted at a late night meeting at Kejriwal’s home on February 19.
Prakash has alleged that in Kejriwal’s presence, he was attacked by lawmakers of Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Kejriwal was questioned and his home was searched twice by the police in connection with the incident.
AAP has alleged that Prakash and several other bureaucrats have skipped meetings and refused to cooperate since then.
Kejriwal and his minister spent 9 days protesting inside a guest room at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal’s residence Raj Niwas and refused to budge until the officers were ordered to end their “boycott”.
