Media Eye News Bureau: Aam Aadmi Party alleged that Delhi Police pressured V K Jain, who is Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's adviser, to change his statement about the alleged attack on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by the party's MLAs.
Ashutosh and Sanjay Singh, AAP leaders, asserted that this was done as a ploy to destabilise the party's government in Delhi.
Singh asserted, “However, the police states that today Mr Jain is claiming that when he returned from the bathroom, he found Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash searching for his spectacles, indicating the possibility of an assault. Why did Mr Jain change his stand within a day? Under whose pressure was he forced to change his statement?”
He added, “How is it that the same Mr Jain who emphatically said yesterday that he witnessed no assault during the entire time that he was present there, has now claimed otherwise?”
In response to the allegations, the chief spokesperson of the Delhi Police, Special CP Dependra Pathak said, “As per due process, a statement was recorded first by the police and then the statement was recorded before the court”.
Singh further alleged that Aam Aadmi Party MLAs were being arrested for an “assault” of which there was no proof.
