According to the Aam Aadmi Party, Amantullah Khan, in a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner, alleged that the Delhi Police is trying to implicate him in a false case, adding that the person to whom police came to nab has already got “bail.”
“I am in my assembly constituency, I have not fled anywhere. Some people from Delhi Police are implicating me in a false case…The person whom Delhi Police had come to arrest has already got bail. When the person showed his papers, the police are implicating me in a false case to hide their mistake,” Khan said in his letter.
