New Delhi: Delhi police detained Aam Admi Party MLAs Raghav Chadha, Ritu Raj, Kuldeep Kumar and Sanjeev Jha who were on their way to the Home Minister Amit Shah’s residence to hold a protest demonstration.

AAP was planning to hold ‘dharna’ outside Home Minister Shah’s house on Sunday against alleged misappropriation of funds by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).

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.”

“…Any type of gathering is not allowed outside the residence of Hon’ble Home Minister of India. Your request has been considered but rejected. You are requested to co-operate with the Delhi Police,” the Delhi Police said in its reply.

“…all social/academic/sports/entertainment/cultural/religious/political functions/other gathering are prohibited up to 31.12.2020 throughout NCT of Delhi in order to prevent and control the outbreak of pandemic disease namely COVID-19,” the order said.

On Saturday, Raghav Chadha has written a letter to Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police requesting for permission to hold a “peaceful demonstration” outside the residence of Home Minister Shah.
