AAP legislator in Delhi accused of molestation
New Delhi : A case of molestation and eve-teasing was registered here against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator Prakash Jarwal, Delhi Police said on Friday.
“A case has been registered for molestation, eve-teasing and intimidation,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajeev Ranjan told IANS.
Jarwal, who represents Deoli constituency in Delhi assembly, has denied the charge.
The alleged incident took place on July 2, when the victim, a resident of Sangam Vihar, had gone to the Delhi Jal Board office in Greater Kailash area here to make a complaint, Ranjan said.
Jarwal and his supporters allegedly molested the victim there.
Ranjan said the police is currently investigating into the matter.
Asked whether the victim first approached Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung and the Police Commissioner to register a first information report (FIR), Ranjan said: “The victim had sent the complaint to all the people on the same day.”
Meanwhile, Jarwal posted on Twitter: “Molestation of women against me is baseless. It’s all about dirty political game.”
Jarwal had been arrested in May 2014 for assaulting a junior engineer of the Delhi Jal Board at Sangam Vihar.
It’s the second such case against an AAP legislator in a fortnight. Earlier, a sexual harassment case was registered against Dinesh Mohaniya who represents Sangam Vihar in Delhi assembly.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
