Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's advisor V K Jain had confirmed that he saw Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs Prakash Jarwal and Amanutullah Khan surrounding Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash and assaulting him, the Delhi Police told a Delhi court on Thursday. Additional public prosecutor Atul Shrivastava told the Metropolitan Magistrate that the police said that "new facts" had emerged after the interrogation of Jain, who had previously said he had not seen anything.AAP, for its part, said the whole issue was a conspiracy to "bring down the Delhi government" and to "defame" the party. "By putting pressure on him (Jain) throughout the day (Thursday) and by threatening him, police forced him to change his statement," AAP MP Sanjay Singh told the media on Thursday.The capital has been gripped by a political storm after the chief secretary on Tuesday alleged that he was beaten up by two AAP MLAs in the presence of Kejriwal at the Chief Minister's residence on Monday night, where he had been called for an emergency meeting. Denying the charges of assault, the AAP has said that the chief secretary was making allegations at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
