Traders protesting against sealing drive in Delhi
The Delhi High Court on Thursday (March 1) sent notice to Delhi Police in the case of the bail application of Aam Aadmi Party MLA Prakash Jarwal who was arrested on February 20 for allegedly manhandling Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash at a meeting in Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence.
He, however, reached the police station at around 6 pm. The questioning with Rishi ended after two hours.
On the other hand, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia criticised Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal for showing "full support" to the IAS Association's "fatwa" (diktat) and "encouraging" them to boycott meetings called by the ministers. Some more AAP MLAs are likely to be summoned after Holi, a police officer said.
Mr Bharadwaj claimed that in court proceedings, it was conceded by the Delhi Police that after the late night meeting with the chief minister on February 19, the chief secretary visited the LG at his residence where Police Commissioner was called and the meeting was attended by DCP, North.
"The police acted swiftly in Prakash's case, but failed to do anything about the case filed by Hussain, despite the CCTV footage clearly showing that he was mobbed and assaulted by government officials and staff at the secretariat", he alleged. Jarwal, who was arrested on 20 February, is now undergoing a 14-day judicial custody in the case in which another MLA, Amanatullah Khan, was also arrested.

The government employees' association also attacked the Deputy Chief Minister by terming Sisodia's remarks about government officers at a seminar on Tuesday as "condemnable".
