Meanwhile the detained suspect fled from the spot while the MLA along with his supporters was engaged in a heated argument with the cops.
This led the crime branch team to take a legal action against the representative from Okhla.
Earlier on February 5, Khan was booked by Delhi Police for violating the Model Code of Conduct that was enforced in view of the Assembly elections.
The action against Khan was taken after a video of him surfaced where the AAP leader was allegedly seen roaming in his constituency (Okhla) along with his supporters after the campaigning period ended.
The DCP South East Delhi on the official handle on X had posted, “In this matter, FIR under section 223 (3,5) of BNS and 126 RP Act against Amanatullah has been registered at Police Station Jamia Nagar for violating MCC.”
