Hours after the Aam Aadmi Party alleged on Tuesday that Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal had been placed under house arrest, Delhi police clarified that there are no restrictions on the movement of the CM.
At a press conference, Special Police Commissioner Satish Golcha said: “I would like to clarify that these claims are totally unfounded and unfounded. There are absolutely no restrictions. The CM has been making regular commitments and has been moving out of his residence for any commitments ”.
Hours earlier, the leader of the AAP, Saurabh Bhardwaj, had said that since yesterday no one is allowed to leave or enter the official residence of the CM. The CM had to cancel all of its scheduled meetings on Tuesday, he said.

Bhardwaj also alleged that Delhi police beat up some of the AAP MLAs who wanted to enter the CM residence for a meeting on Monday and denied them entry.
In his statement, Golcha further said that the situation in Delhi-NCR is peaceful and under control. “The markets are open and there is a normal movement of the public on the roads and traffic is normal on all the main routes,” he said.
The officer also said that adequate security exists to keep the peace and prevent any adverse incidents. “The Delhi Police will intervene in case there is any apprehension of breach of the peace or if any effort is made to block the movement of any political leader or any person,” he added.
