Aam Aadmi party leader Raghav Chadha was detained today by Delhi police ahead of a planned party protest outside the home of Interior Minister Amit Shah against alleged embezzlement by the Municipal Council of New Delhi (NDMC).
In addition to the protest outside Mr. Shah’s residence, the Delhi-based party had announced a demonstration at the residence of Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal demanding an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into his allegations.
Chadha had previously requested permission to hold the rally, but the police denied it, citing the coronavirus pandemic.

The SHO has said in unequivocal terms that if you leave the house , he will be forced to arrest him, “the AAP leader told NDTV moments before being detained. Mr. Chadha and nine members of the Aam Aadmi Party have been taken to the Rajendra Nagar Police Station.
AAP has alleged that the Northern DCM had given up 2.457 crore that the Southern DCM was supposed to pay as rent for the use of the facilities of the civic center building in central Delhi, which is officially owned by the body. civic of the North.
“North MCD waived the Rs 2,500 crore rental fees from South MCD, resulting in a loss to the public treasury. Who is responsible for this corruption? On Sunday, we will meet with the Union Interior Minister and LG at 11 am there until they consent to the CBI investigation, “Atishi said during a news conference on Saturday.
“Over and over again, North MCD says we don’t have the money to pay doctors, nurses and other workers. But it waives South MCD’s 2.5 billion rupee fees,” he added.

Last week, the AAP claimed that the residence of Senior Deputy Minister Manish Sisodia had been “attacked by BJP thugs” with the support of police personnel aimed at ensuring the safety of Mr. Sisodia and his family.
Shocking footage from videos posted online by Sisodia and AAP leaders Atishi and Raghav Chadha showed dozens of men marching toward the senior vice minister’s residence and pushing past a handful of police officers, at least one of whom he had what looked like an assault rifle. .
