New Delhi, Aug 13 (IBNS) : The Delhi police on Monday filed a charge sheet against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia, implicating them in the alleged assault of Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, reports said.

Eleven other MLAs of the ruling Aam Admi Party have also been chargesheeted.

Kejriwal and Sisodia have been named for "criminal conspiracy" in the case.

Chief Secretary Prakash was allegedly attacked during a meeting at Kejriwal's official residence on February 19. The police said Kejriwal was present when the attack happened.

They have questioned Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and 11 AAP lawmakers present at the meeting. Kejriwal's former advisor V K Jain was also present there.

Two AAP lawmakers - Amantullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal - were arrested in the case; Jain was questioned by the police.

The alleged attack on Prakash had triggered a bitter tussle between the Delhi government and its bureaucrats.

The Government had accused the IAS officers, who had protested the alleged attack on Prakash, of boycotting meetings with Delhi ministers. The IAS officers have denied the accusation.
