Delh- Aam Aadmi Party leaders Raghav Chadha, Atishi and a number of party leaders were detained today while on their way to Home Minister Amit Shah and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal’s residences as part of their party’s protest against alleged misappropriation of funds by BJP-controlled Delhi civic body.
The Delhi-based party, which has alleged 2,457 crore fraud in New Delhi Municipal Council , had planned the protest outside Mr Shah and Mr Baijal’s residences to force the government to order a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into its allegations. The party had sought permission from the police to hold the protest but it was denied citing the coronavirus pandemic.
AAP has alleged that the North MCD had waived off 2,457 crore which the South MCD was supposed to pay as rent for using the premises of the civic centre building in central Delhi which is officially the property of the North civic body.
