AAP MLA from Hari Nagar, Jagdeep Singh was arrested in an assault case on Sunday. However, after being let off briefly following complaints of high blood pressure, the MLA was called back to the police station for bail formalities.
The episode took a curious turn when Mr. Singh and the AAP claimed the arrest to be a rumour. In fact, the MLA told The Hindu that he had not been arrested. According to the police, the incident took place on May 21 when some locals approached the complainant, Mohit, a manager with a waste management company, for a truck to be used for Shab-e-Barat.
After Mohit declined, the locals forcefully took over the truck, which led to an argument. The MLA had intervened on behalf of the locals.
