A Delhi court has acquitted Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in a 2018 case of alleged assault on then Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash. Nine MLAs from the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have also been cleared by the special court. The court has, however, ordered framing of charges against two other AAP MLAs – Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal.
Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia, addressing a press conference soon after the charges were dismissed, claimed a “conspiracy” by Delhi Police against Arvind Kejriwal had been uncovered.
“The court has said that all allegations were baseless and false. We were saying from the first day these allegations are false. There was a conspiracy against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal…” Mr Sisodia told reporters.
