Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Dinesh Mohaniya was on Saturday arrested by the Delhi
Police for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women who had gone to him to
complain about water crisis.
The Sangam Vihar MLA
was picked up by a police team while addressing a press conference at his
office in Khanpur in South Delhi.
Mohaniya, who is also
the vice-chairman of Delhi Jal Board, was booked on June 23 after locals of
Sangam Vihar alleged that the MLA and his supporters roughed them up and
misbehaved with women in his office when they went to complain about irregular
water supply.
A case was registered
under Section 506 (criminal intimidation), Section 509 (word, gesture or act
intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and Section 323 (punishment for
voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code at the Neb Sarai Police
Station.
However, the police
have also added Sections 354 and 354 (b).
"We have added
354 and 354b sections of the IPC as well," said Jimmy Chiram, ACP, Delhi
Police.
However, the MLA had
rubbished the allegations, saying it was an attempt to defame his reputation as
the water mafia is frustrated because of the Delhi Government's crackdown.
Another case has been
registered against Mohaniya for allegedly slapping a 60-year-old man in
Tughlaquabad area on Friday.
