AAP alleges MLA 'kidnapped' by police in 'plain clothes' for raising issue of sanitation worker's death
AAP alleges its MLA was taken to 'undisclosed location' by Delhi Police. There was no immediate response from Delhi Police on the matter.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the Delhi Police of kidnapping MLA Kuldeep Kumar, stating he was taken to an undisclosed location for raising concerns about a sanitation worker's death. Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged that police are pressuring the family of the deceased sanitation worker to carry out the cremation.
No response from police was immediately available. Around 4 am, approximately 20 policemen in plain clothes apprehended MLA Kuldeep Kumar, who had been advocating for compensation for the family of the deceased sanitation worker. Bharadwaj claimed that instead of meeting the protesters, the Delhi Police forcibly took MLA Kuldeep Kumar to an undisclosed location.
Following the brutal murder of the sanitation worker, thousands of sanitation workers engaged in a sit-in protest for two days, demanding a compensation of ₹1 crore. However, the police forcibly brought the deceased's body from the hospital to the family's residence, according to Bharadwaj.
