Was #DelhiChiefSecretary assaulted at the behest of CM @ArvindKejriwal ?

In an early morning development that soon spiralled into a major face-off, Delhi government’s top bureaucrat on Tuesday claimed to have been assaulted by two AAP MLAs at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence. Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash alleged that the incident happened when he was called to discuss the issues of ration distribution and government advertisements late on Monday evening. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) immediately denied the allegations, terming them as “ludicrous” and accused Prakash of acting at “BJP’s behest”. The party also said the Chief Secretary had used casteist remarks against its MLAs.



Delhi Police has filed FIR on the Complaint of #DelhiChiefSecretary Anshu Prakash against #AAP MlA Amanatulla Khan and others under IPC Sections 120b Criminal conspiracy, 186 (obstructing a public servant from performing the duty), 353 (assault on public servant)


In a statement issued through the IAS, DANICS and DASS officers Associations, the bureaucracy said it feels that the incident amounts to a “functional crisis and breakdown of governance and earnestly implore the Hon’ble Lt. Governor and the Govt. of India to take expeditious action against the perpetrators of the unfortunate incident”.

The association, in its detailed statement, also alleged that the attack took place “in the presence and with the consent of the CM and Deputy CM”.
