AAP MLAs and their list of unscrupulous doings
Since the time Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has come to power, their members have faced a dozen allegations and police action. More than 13 AAP MLAs have been arrested on various grounds so far.
Sandoa failed to pay Rs. 3 lakh for repairs: Complainant
Complainant Tarminder Kaur said she owned a house in Zail Singh Nagar locality of Ropar, which she had rented out to Sandoa in 2016. She alleged that he damaged her property with the cost of repairs running to Rs. 3 lakh. Kaur further said that Sandoa threatened her on July 27 evening when she went to meet him to settle the bills.
It's a political conspiracy, alleges Sandoa
Crying foul, Sandoa said he was being implicated and it was a political conspiracy to malign him. Denying the allegations that have been slapped on him, he said Kaur came to his place in his absence. He further added that on returning to the house, he gave her a cheque to clear the pending amount, which she refused to accept.
SAD spokesperson Cheema demands immediate arrest of Sandoa
Senior Superintendent of Police Raj Bachan Singh Sandhu said that a case has been registered against Sandoa under various sections of IPC including section 354, 323 and 506. Meanwhile, SAD party's spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema demanded immediate arrest of Sandoa.
AAP MLAs list of unscrupulous doings
This isn't the first time an AAP MLA has been accused of wrongdoing. Let's take a look at some of the cases. AAP's Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan was arrested on charges of intimidating a woman with rape and murder. Other AAP MLAs booked for sexual assault were Dinesh Mohaniya, Somnath Bharti among several others.
The murky case of AAP MLAs
The AAP has had a very trying relationship with the Delhi Police with the former accusing the latter of harassing its MLAs. But what is surprising though, is that so far 13 AAP MLAs have been booked for wrongdoings but only one was acquitted and the rest have trials pending against them. Moreover, these AAP MLAs have always got bail in the first/second hearing.
