65 AAP MLA's including Manish Sisodia detained during protest march
New Delhi, June 26 (IBNS): The police on Sunday detained 65 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators, including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, during a march towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence to protest the arrest of party legislator Dinesh Mohaniya on Saturday.
A Delhi court on Saturday sent arrested AAP MLA Dinesh Mohaniya to judicial custody till Monday.
He was arrested on charges of molestation and sexual harassment.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the arrest of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator Dinesh Mohaniya in the middle a news conference, saying an 'Emergency' has been declared in the capital.
"Modi declares emergency in Delhi. Arresting, raiding, terrorizing, filing false cases against all those whom Delhi elected," Kejriwal had tweeted.
His outburst comes after the arrest of Mohaniya, the legislator from Sangam Vihar, for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women who had gone to him to complain about a water crisis.
Mohaniya, who is also vice chairman of Delhi Jal Board, was picked up by a police team while addressing a news conference at his office in Khanpur in South Delhi.
Mohaniya was also booked in the case of allegedly assaulting a senior citizen.
