There seems to be no relief in
sight for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as the Delhi Police on Wednesday
began filing a chargesheet against 21 AAP MLAs, including the Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Kejriwal
has been named in 6 cases out of 25 cases in which the police is filing
the chargesheet. The police is also probing two other cases against
Kejriwal, according to The Times of India. The report added
that the cases against the Delhi CM involve holding protests despite
prohibitory orders and preventing public servants from performing their
duty.
These charges against
Kejriwal come at a time when the Delhi CM and Delhi Lieutenant-Governor
Najeeb Jung were in the middle of a power tussle over the appointment of
bureaucrats in the state.
AAP
also faced a lot of criticism after the former Delhi Law Minister
Jitender Singh Tomar was arrested for allegedly producing a fake law
degree, immediately after which grave allegations of domestic abuse were
made against another AAP leader and former Law Minister Somnath Bharti.
The
allegations in the chargesheet being prepared by the Delhi police also
include serious offences like molestation and storing liquor bottles in
premises, according to IBNLive.
The charges over storage of
liquor bottles have been made against Naresh Baliyan. Another AAP leader
Manoj Kumar has been named in the chargesheet in a molestation case.
The Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel has been charged with beating
up people, according to the report.
AAP
leader Ashutosh reacted strongly to this development, alleging that the
Modi government had planted this story to divert the attention of
'gullible' TV news channels from the controversy surrounding Lalit Modi
and Sushma Swaraj.
