Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and MLA from Delhi’s Deoli Assembly seat Prakash Jarwal on Wednesday alleged that three shots were fired at him during an event in south Delhi’s Shani Bazaar area. However, police denied Jarwal’s claim and the CCTV footage collected from the spot does not show any incident of firing.
Jarwal said after verbally informing the police, he has also filed a formal complaint at the Neb Sarai police station. Jarwal claimed that he was shot at on Wednesday by an illegal alcohol distributor, who had been chasing him for the past three days.
He alleged that despite asking the police for security, no action was taken in this regard. “My life is in danger. I was previously attacked on Sunday and informed police about it but nothing was done,” he said. In the police complaint, Jarwal said an AAP worker was also given death threats by the same person over phone. Jarwal said he had call records of the conversation.
According to Vijay Kumar, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), South district, the CCTV footage collected from the spot does not show any incident of firing and further investigation is going on.
