Delhi Police say MLA-led mob did not allow them to nab suspect

The Delhi Police on Monday filed a case against Aam Aadmi Party Party Party MLA Amanatullah Khan for allegedly blocking a police team that was trying to arrest a man in an attempt to murder case, The Indian Express reported.

A Crime Branch team headed by Inspector Sunil Kalkhande had taken the man, Shavez Khan, in custody on Monday and was in the process of arresting him, when Khan and his supporters allegedly blocked them.

“The MLA and his supporters were present at the site and obstructed the process of the arrest, claiming that Shavez was not a criminal,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Ravi Kumar said. “This led to Shavez fleeing. He has been absconding since.”
