After the president of the Ghazipur Vegetable Market Association submitted a complaint against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, accusing him of intimidating the businessmen during his official visit there, Sisodia, in a sign of protest, will march to the residence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and surrender himself today.

"Complaint filed against Manish Sisodia yesterday. Manish will go to 7, RCR today to surrender himself before PM," Kejriwal tweeted this morning with a copy of the complaint filed against Sisodia.

After the complaint was filed yesterday, Sisodia, quickly turned to Twitter to stating that the Prime Minister may turn the complaint into a case of extortion, violence and molestation and use it as an excuse to arrest him.

He also alleged that the people who filed the complaint were indulging in illegal activities in the market, where he had gone for a surprise inspection.

According to reports, the police said earlier that they have received a complaint from the president Surender Goswami, but no FIR would be registered as no cognizable offence was committed by Sisodia.
