July 26, 2016 20:20

A Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed bail plea of Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan arrested for allegedly threatening a woman. Khan has been sent to 14-day judicial custody.

A woman had alleged that Khan tried to mow her down after she visited his residence to raise the issue of power cuts. He was sent to one-day police custody on Sunday.

Khan, also the chairman of the Delhi Waqf board, was first detained for questioning and then arrested, a day after he alleged in a press conference that the woman was 'pressurised' by police into giving a false statement against him.

According to police, on July 22, the woman had recorded her statement before the magistrate under Section 164 of CrPC.
