Aam Aadmi Party MLA Sharad Chauhan was arrested by Delhi Police on Sunday in connection with the alleged suicide of an Aam Aadmi Party activist in the Narela area of Outer Delhi.

Seven others including previous investigating officer probing suicide were also arrested by the Delhi Police Crime Branch.

15 days ago, an AAP activist had allegedly committed suicide in Narela. Earlier, she had filed a complaint against party colleague Ramesh Wadhwa for allegedly touching her inappropriately, and a case of molestation was filed in June. The accused at that time had been arrested.

According to her family members, the activist went into depression after her alleged molester, a party colleague, was released on bail.

Meanwhile, AAP spokesperson Ashutosh took to Twitter and attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and questioned if the country was safe with the PM acting in such anger and vengence.

"Another AAP MLA arrested. Has Modi gone mad? Has he lost his mental balance? If PM acts with such anger/vengeance then is country safe!," Ashutosh tweeted.

He further said, "Delhi government is doing great job. Yesterday 16 lakh parents of government schools 1st time came for PTM.Instead of appreciating he is putting in jail. Great initiatives are taken by Delhi government in education-health instead of praising Modi is sending AAP MLA jail. Is country safe in his hands?"
