A Delhi Court on Monday dismissed the bail plea of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sharad Chauhan, who has been arrested in connection with the alleged suicide of a woman party worker, and sent him to 14-day judicial custody.

Soni committed suicide on July 19, alleging harassment by fellow party worker Ramesh Bhardwaj, who allegedly asked her for sexual favours.
