Complaint filed against Manish Sisodia

June 26, 2016 12:00 am | Updated October 18, 2016 02:08 pm IST - NEW DELHI:

The president of the Ghazipur Vegetable Market Association on Saturday submitted a complaint against Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, accusing him of intimidating the businessmen there during his official visit to the market.

The police said they have received a complaint from the president, Surender Goswami, but no FIR would be registered as no cognizable offence was found to be committed.

Mr. Sisodia, though, was quick to give the incident a political colour, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may turn the complaint into a case of extortion, violence and molestation and use it as an excuse to arrest him. He alleged that the people who filed the complaint were indulging in illegal activities.
