The Delhi Police has sent a notice to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asking him to appear before it in connection with the alleged assault on chief secretary Anshu Prakash in February, police said today.
Reacting sharply to the development, Aam Adami Party has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "misusing" Delhi police to "bother" Kejriwal.
A senior police officer said that the notice was sent to Kejriwal today to join the investigations on May 18 at 11 am.
The notice said, "You (Kejriwal) are required to attend investigation and be available at your residence/office on May 18 at 11 AM. In the event, such timing is not convenient to you due to official exigencies, kindly intimate an alternate time."
Reacting sharply to the Delhi police notice, AAP's Delhi unit chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said, "It is for the first time in India that a chief minister is being examined in a fake case. Modi ji is misusing the police to bother the chief minister but people stand by Kejriwal."
