Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, currently in Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody until March 28, has filed a plea in the Rouse Avenue Court requesting the removal of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) AK Singh from his security. Kejriwal claimed that Assistant Commissioner of Police AK Singh had misbehaved with him while he was being brought to the court for his hearing in the remand application moved by the agency earlier on Friday. The nature of the alleged misbehaviour is not yet known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh is the same policeman who has been accused of restraining Manish Sisodia by the neck on the premises of the same court last year when reporters asked him a question. The act was recorded on video and Sisodia had even filed a written complaint against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Delhi police had denied any wrongdoing and said the action shown in the video was necessary for security and that it was against the law for any accused to give statements to the media. An application had been moved by the police in the court, seeking its permission to produce Sisodia via video conferencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This they had claimed was important as producing him physically created chaos as AAP supporters and people from the media gathered in the corridors of the court. Sisodia had been taken into custody in the liquor policy case in February last year. Kejriwal had been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AAP supremo was produced in the Rouse Avenue Court, which granted the agency his custody for 7 days. The Enforcement Directorate which is investigating the money laundering angle in the case had sought Kejriwal\u2019s custody for 10 days. The investigative agency said it need to confront Kejriwal with the other accused. The agency alleged the Delhi chief minister and the Aam Aadmi Party had received kickbacks in exchange of favours and that he was the kingpin and a key conspirator in the alleged scam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
