This comes after Delhi Police rejected AAP leader Raghav Chadha’s request for permission to hold ‘peaceful demonstration outside residence of Union Home Minister today’ against alleged misappropriation of funds by NDMC; says, “Any type of gathering is not allowed outside the residence of Home Min.”
