An FIR has been registered against two AAP MLAs and their supporters, six of whom have been arrested, over a violent clash with police at Burari police station in north Delhi yesterday which left 15 people injured.
While the MLAs, Sanjeev Jha from Burari and Akhilesh Pati Tripathi from Model Town, have not been arrested, they have been named in the FIR, police said today.
Nine policemen and six AAP members, including Jha, were injured in the clash which erupted after Jha's vehicle was not allowed entry into the Burari police station, where he and his supporters had come around 11 pm yesterday to register a case against an alleged kidnapper whom they had caught abducting a boy from Pradhan Enclave colony.
Soon, Tripathi also came with his supporters. As AAP workers pelted stones at police, cops resorted to lathicharge. Several vehicles were also damaged in the clash and those injured were taken to hospitals.
