New Delhi, Sept 28 (IBNS): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Somnath Bharti, who was absconding, reached a police station in West Delhi's Dwarka to surrender himself on Monday.
Speaking to reporters outside the police station, Bharti, who was holding a copy of Constitution in his hand, said: "The Constitution guarantees Indian citizens to avail all legal remedies. The Supreme Court had asked me to surrender, in compliance of the Supreme Court, I am here to surrender... I was not running away."
 
This comes after the Supreme Court earlier in the day rejected his bail plea and ordered him to surrender.
 
Bharti was seeking protection from arrest in a domestic violence and attempt to murder case in which the Delhi High Court had already rejected his petition for anticipatory bail.
 
The former Delhi minister's wife Lipika Mitra had filed a complaint of domestic violence with Delhi Commission for Women on June 10alleging that her husband had been abusing her since their marriage in 2010. She had also given a complaint to the police in this regard.
 
Delhi Police then registered an FIR against Bharti under sections 307 (attempt to murder), 498A (cruelty towards wife), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 313 read with 511 (attempt to cause miscarriage without woman's consent), 420 (cheating) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC.
