September 24, 2015 12:50

Aam Aadmi Party MLA Somnath Bharti, who is involved in a domestic violence case, has moved the Supreme Court seeking protection from the arrest after the Delhi high court had rejected his anticipatory bail plea.

According to reports, Bharti has sought a direction that the Delhi police be restrained from arresting him till his petition challenging the high court order is decided.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had earlier said that the former law minister Bharti, who has been booked in a domestic violence case, is becoming an embarrassment for AAP and his family, and therefore, should surrender. The AAP held a meeting today to decide on Bharti's future in the party.
