Deputy commissioner of police (south) Atul Thakur said that on Monday, Alka Lamba filed a complaint over email against the man. Lamba also tagged Delhi Police in a post on Twitter while attaching the video in which Sehrawat is heard delivering a hate speech.

“Our police team succeeded in tracing the accused in the area of police station Bindapur and he was taken in police custody from his house. Now, he has been arrested and his interrogation is going on,” said DCP Thakur.

In his videos, Sehrawat describes himself as a Hindu leader and a nationalist. Earlier, he threatened to kill journalist Ravish Tiwari and Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan.
