Following the arrest of yet another Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA on charges of allegedly threatening a woman, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday launched a fresh wave of attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of being behind the arrest.

The Delhi Police Commissioner (South East) confirmed the news about the arrest of the AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan.

"Just in - Modi ji arrests one more AAP MLA," tweeted Kejriwal.

The alleged incident took place on July 10, when a 35-year-old woman went to the residence of Amanatullah in South Delhi's Batla House locality after a telephonic conversation with him to complain about poor electricity supply in the area.

The complainant has alleged that a supporter of Khan was abusing her on the orders of the AAP MLA.

Amanatullah is likely to be produced at 12:30 pm at Saket Court today.

However, the AAP yesterday rubbished the charges that its Okhla MLA misbehaved with a woman and instead claimed that the Delhi Police 'pressurised' the woman to give a false statement against its legislator.

Party MLA Dinesh Mohaniya was earlier in June booked in a sexual harassment case.

Another party MLA Prakash Jarwal was also booked for sexual harassment and molestation.
