After the midnight detention and arrest of AAP MLA Prakash Jarwal from a location in Defence Colony late night on Tuesday, the other ten AAP MLAs who allegedly assaulted the Delhi Chief Secretary at the Chief Minister’s residence late on Monday are “missing”, fearing police raids.

A police official said AAP MLA from Okhla, Amanatullah Khan, was not found at his home on Tuesday night.

However, Mr. Khan surfaced on Wednesday morning with his supporters. He said he would surrender before the police, and that he has been falsely implicated in the case.

"I was at home last night. I have no reason to hide from the police. I am going to the police station now," said Mr. Khan, adding that he is going to the Civil Lines police station.

However, other AAP MLAs have either switched off their phones or not found at their respective homes.
