NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi following allegations made by his party that police “picked up” MLA Kuldeep Kumar from his residence.
The incident comes amid a protest over the alleged murder of a Municipal Corporation of Delhi sanitation worker, Anil Kumar, in Kalyanpuri, with AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj alleging that Delhi Police picked up Kuldeep Kumar from his residence at around 4 am after he raised the issue of compensation for the deceased worker’s family.
Anil was carrying out his sanitation duties when he was allegedly attacked with a knife.
Police have since said the accused, identified as Nihal, has been arrested and, according to preliminary information, the incident was committed due to a “personal enmity”.
“Prime Minister Modi Ji, Where is our MLA Kuldeep Kumar? At 4 AM this morning, your Delhi Police picked up Kuldeep Kumar from his home, broke the CCTV cameras, and took the DVR along with them. Your police is not telling us anything. If the police can pick up an MLA from his home like this without any information or any reason, then where can the common man in this country go for help? This country will not tolerate such thuggery from you,” said Kejriwal.
Anil was carrying out his sanitation duties when he was allegedly attacked with a knife. Police have since said the accused, identified as Nihal, has been arrested and, according to preliminary information, “the accused committed the crime due to a personal enmity”.
