TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ In an unprecedented move, a Delhi Police team on Friday swooped down on the residence of Arvind Kejriwal and seized a hard disk containing CCTV footage in connection with the chief secretary ‘assault’ incident even as the chief minister knocked the Lt Governor’s doors to ensure government work is not hit due to the boycott by bureaucrats.
A total of 21 CCTV cameras and a hard disk were examined by the police. The hard disk was seized and any possibility of “tampering” with the system could be ascertained only after forensic examination, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Harendra Singh said. Fourteen CCTV cameras were running while seven were not working. Also, there was a time lag of 40-43 minutes with respect to the time of the alleged incident, the official said.
Miffed by the move, the AAP accused the Delhi Police of acting like a bully at the behest of the Centre by entering the chief minister’s house “illegally” and said the action was aimed at “insulting and humiliating” him. Without taking the name of BJP and its leaders, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said it is “unfortunate” that some “dictators” and people with a mentality of “hooligans” have captured power, be it Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh.
“The dadagiri by the Delhi Police at Arvind Kejriwal’s residence is being done at the behest of the BJP. The Delhi Police is a mere puppet but the Centre is resorting to such dadagiri to dismiss the Delhi government,” Singh said.
