Hours after the Aam Aadmi Party alleged on Tuesday that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had been put under house arrest, Delhi Police clarified that there is no restriction on the movement of the CM.
At a press briefing, special commissioner of police Satish Golcha said, “I would like to clarify that these claims are totally baseless and unfounded. There’s absolutely no restriction. The CM has been making usual engagements and he has been moving out of his residence for any engagement whatsoever.”
Earlier in the day, AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj had said that no one is being allowed to leave or enter the CM’s official residence since yesterday. The CM had to cancel all his scheduled meetings on Tuesday, he said.
