Out on bail, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal were on Saturday summoned for questioning by the Delhi Police in the chief secretary assault case, officials said.

According to reports, both the MLAs were asked to appear before the police at 10 am.

Khan and Jarwal were arrested for allegedly assaulting Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash at the residence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal last month.

The Delhi High Court had on March 12 granted bail to Khan while Jarwal was given bail on March 9.

Justice Mukta Gupta granted bail to Khan asking him to furnish a personal bond of Rs 50,000 with two sureties of the like amount while Jarwal was warned that any such illegal activity in future would lead to cancellation of his bail.

On February 19, the Chief Secretary had alleged that he was beaten up by AAP legislators Prakash Jarwal and Amanatullah Khan in the presence of Kejriwa, where the top bureaucrat had been called for an emergency meeting.
