Delhi Police on Friday filed a detailed chargesheet against Jignesh Mewani's aide Apurva Singh in a court here in connection with a case of alleged harassment and intimidation of a woman journalist of Republic TV.
Apurva Singh has been charged under Section 509, 506, 341, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Section 506 of the IPC is related to criminal intimidation and comes with a jail term extendable up to seven years.
The nine-page chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police comes in the wake of the investigation into the complaint and the gathering of evidence against Mewani's aide, which includes CDs and exhibits from the FSL reports.
