A Delhi court on Wednesday sent two Aam Aadmi Party MLAs to judicial custody for a day when their bail plea will be taken up after a police plea for two-day custodial interrogation was rejected. AAP legislators Amantullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal were arrested in connection with an alleged assault on Delhi chief secretary Anshu Prakash during a meeting at chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on the night of February 19. The metropolitan magistrate Shefali Barnala Tandon refused the Delhi Police plea and posted the hearing of their bail petition of the two MLAs. The details of the reasons for denying the police custody of the two legislators were not immediately available. The two MLAs were produced before the court amid tight security, in the presence of a large number of AAP workers. While Jarwal was arrested on Tuesday night, Khan was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon.
