New Delhi, August 13: Taking a step ahead in Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash assaulting case, Delhi police on Monday filed a charge sheet against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia among 11 other MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party.

 

Notably, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and nine others have been charged with criminal conspiracy. However, Delhi's Patiala House Court will take cognizance in the matter on August 25. If all the accused found guilty then they can be awarded a maximum sentence of three years and a minimum of one year.

Two other MLAs, Prakash Jarwar and Amantullah Khan, have been accused of attacking and intimidating a public servant and were arrested in the case. Meanwhile, CM Arvind Kejriwal was questioned for over three hours with the alleged assault on Anshu Prakash.

The Chief Secretary of Delhi, Anshu Prakash was roughed up by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs including Prakash Jarwal and Amanatullah Khan in the presence of CM Arvind Kejriwal at his home during a meeting on February 19 this year. Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash wrote a letter to DCP North over the criminal attack on him by the AAP MLAs in presence and approval of Kejriwal.

In the letter, Prakash alleged that he was abused by MLA at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Tuesday night. "My spectacles fell on the ground. I was in a state of shock. With difficulty I was able to leave the room and get into my official car and leave chief minister's residence," he said. The incident triggered protests by employees of Delhi Secretariat.

Importantly, the attack on the senior IAS officer has triggered the sentiments of a strong opposition to Aam Adami Party’s Maoist style of functioning and abusive and negative politics. It is better for Kejriwal that he should resign now with honor, if not the people are determined to kick urban Maoist from the political arena.
