AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan arrested for allegedly threatening a woman

Aam Aadmi Party MLA, Amanatullah Khan, who was booked for allegedly threatening a woman, was arrested on 24 July.

Last week, the woman had alleged that a youth misbehaved with her at AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan's residence in southeast Delhi's Jamia Nagar area when she had gone to raise the issue of power cuts with the legislator.

An FIR was registered against the youth under sections 506 and 509 of IPC at Jamia Nagar police station based on a complaint filed by the woman, a resident of Jasola.

The woman claimed that she had telephoned Amantullah on 10 July and later went to his Batla House residence to raise the issue of power cuts with him.

She claimed the minister did not meet her and while she was returning, the youth came out of the house, abused her and threatened that she would be killed if she did not stop politicising the matter.

Amanatullah, however, said he did not even know if the woman came to his residence.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the AAP MLA's arrest.
