The AAP's Amanatullah Khan, who won the Delhi assembly election from Okhla constituency, Tuesday said his party would demand a probe in the 2008 Batla House shootout case.
Terming the incident "fake", Khan said: "The 2008 Batla House encounter was fake. I will appeal to the centre to probe the encounter which happened under the Congress rule."
Khan defeated the Bharatiya Janata Party's Braham Singh by 64,532 votes.
The Batla House shootout took place Sep 19, 2008 in which two suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists - Atif Amin and Mohamed Sajid - were killed, while two others - Mohd. Saif and Zeeshan - were arrested. One accused, Ariz Khan, escaped.
Delhi Police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma was killed in the operation.
