Infuriated with the
arrest of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Dinesh
Mohaniya, who was today whisked away by police in the middle of a
press conference at his office in Khanpur in South Delhi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal launched a
tirade against Prime MinisterNarendra Modi,
saying the latter has declared 'Emergency' in the national capital.
Mohaniya was today
afternoon arrested by the Delhi Police for allegedly misbehaving with a group
of women who had gone to him to complain about water crisis.
"Modi declares
emergency in Delhi. Arresting, raiding, terrorizing, filing false cases against
all those whom Delhi elected. Dinesh mohaniya arrested from his press
conference in front of all TV cameras. What msg does Modi want to give to
everyone?(sic)" Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.
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.
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.
A case has been
registered against Mohaniya under Sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily
causing hurt) and 341(punishment for wrongful restraint) and 34 (act done by
several persons)of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Govindpuri Police
