Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy was on Monday questioned by the Delhi Police Crime Branch in connection with an alleged inflammatory article he wrote in a daily.
Dr. Swamy, who was accompanied by his lawyers, reached the Inter-State Cell office of the Delhi Police Crime Branch around 10.30 a.m. and was questioned for over two hours on various aspects of the case.
Coming out of the office, Dr. Swamy told reporters that he was asked about the meaning of certain words in his article during the questioning. “I told the police that my original article was longer than what was actually published. If you read the whole article, no case can be made out against me.” He alleged that the registration of a case was politically motivated.
Dr. Swamy had moved the Delhi High Court for anticipatory bail earlier this month in connection with the case and the Court had ordered the Delhi Police not to arrest him till January 30.
The Crime Branch had filed the case in October last year for the article, accusing him of spreading communal disharmony. However, Dr. Swamy has denied all the charges levelled against him in the First Information Report.
