New Delhi, 4th Feb. Atishi, a minister in Delhi, received a notice on Sunday from the crime branch of the Delhi Police regarding the Aam Aadmi Party’s allegations that the BJP tried to seize seven AAP MLAs.
Atishi was reportedly not home when the team arrived at her house. But the crime branch team was still waiting on the minister from Delhi. If Atishi doesn’t show up, the notice was probably served to her Officer on Special Duty (OSD).
A video captured the media and the crime branch outside Atishi’s Delhi residence. The development occurred one day following a five-hour drama in which Delhi Police served Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with a notice requesting a response within three days for a probe related to the AAP’s allegations.
Kejriwal has been requested by the crime branch to provide the identities of AAP MLAs who the BJP is alleged to have approached. A dramatic scene played out at Kejriwal’s Civil Lines home on Friday when the crime branch team showed up to deliver a notice to him related to the investigation.
Kejriwal shared a video of some police officers at his house on X, expressing his sympathy for the officers who were sent to serve him with a notice. He also said, “It’s their job to stop crime in Delhi, but they are being made to indulge in drama.” That explains the rise in crime in Delhi.”
In the post, he added—against mentioning any political party or leader—that he has been asked by the “political bosses” which AAP MLAs were approached about changing their allegiance.
Kejriwal had claimed on X last week that the BJP had offered seven AAP MLAs Rs 25 crore apiece to leave the party in order to overthrow his government. At a press conference shortly after Kejriwal, Delhi Minister Atishi claimed that the BJP had started “Operation Lotus 2.0” in Delhi.
“They tried to extort AAP MLAs with money last year, but it didn’t work out,” she said.
Following the accusations, on January 30, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora received a delegation from the Delhi BJP, headed by chief Virender Sachdeva, who requested an investigation.
