New Delhi, Sept 18 (IBNS): The Patiala House Court on Tuesday summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and 11 other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs in connection with the assault of Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, media reports said.

The court summoned the accused on Oct 25.

The charge sheet was filed against Kejriwal, Sisodia and 11 others by the Delhi police on Aug 13.

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 took place.

Police 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.
