New Delhi: AAP MLA Somnath Bharti was on Saturday brought back to the capital by Delhi Police, who took him to places around Agra and Mathura to confront people related to the ones who had allegedly sheltered him.
A senior police official said that relatives of Baney Singh — who the police claims is a prominent AAP leader in Agra — identified Bharti and told them that the former law minister had stayed at their residence for two nights during the period in which he was evading arrest.
Meanwhile, a police team is looking for Baney and his associates identified as Nattha Singh, Kapil and Sudheer. All of them had allegedly harboured the legislator while he was on the run, said Joint Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Dependra Pathak.
Bharti was on Friday taken to Agra a day after Supreme Court denied interim bail to the AAP MLA and his police custody extended for three days. (PTI)
