New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday alleged that a policeman manhandled former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia at Rouse Avenue Court, a charge refuted by the police. Sisodia was produced before the court on Tuesday in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam.
Delhi minister Atishi posted a video on her official Twitter account and wrote, “Shocking misbehavior by this policeman with Manish at Rouse Avenue Court. Delhi Police should suspend him immediately.”
Responding to Atishi’s tweet, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal said, ‘Does the police have the right to misbehave with Manish Sisodia like this? Has the police been instructed to do so?

The Delhi Police, however, dismissed the allegation and said that the police response was in view of Sisodia’s security.
Delhi Police tweeted, “The case of policeman misbehaving with Manish Sisodia in Rouse Avenue Court is propaganda.
The talk of police taking Mr. Manish Sisodia with him at the time of production in Rouse Avenue Court is propaganda.
