Surat: Aam Aadmi Party MLA and incharge of Gujarat affairs Gulab Singh Yadav was arrested by Delhi police on Sunday in connection with an extortion case against his aides after he turned himself in before local police, hours before party national convener Arvind Kejriwal’s maiden rally here.
The Delhi Chief Minister, who is on Gujarat tour, described the arrest of the Matiala legislator, facing a non-bailable warrant, as intended to “scuttle” his rally and accused the BJP president Amit Shah of “trying to disrupt the Surat programme”.
“Delhi police had come here with a non-bailable warrant against Gulab Singh Yadav. He learnt about it before hand and came to Urma police station where we handed him over to Delhi police,” Surat Police Commissioner Satish Sharma said.
Delhi police will take Yadav to a court to secure a transit remand.Police raided my office and got nothing incriminating. The Centre is directing arrest of AAP MLAs but we are not going to bow, and are ready for any consequences,” he alleged.
Last month, two property dealers, Deepak Sharma and Rinku Diwan, had alleged that Satish and Devinder, who work in Gulab Singh’s office, and an associate Jagdish were extorting money from them by threatening to get the building from where the property dealers were operating, demolished.
A case under section 384 (punishment for extortion) IPC was registered at Bindapur police station on September 13.Speaking to reporters before leaving for Surat, Kejriwal alleged that Amit Shah was trying to “disrupt” the rally. (PTI)
