Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with his deputy Manish Sisodia, is likely to be charged by the Delhi Police in connection with the case of alleged assault on Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in February this year.
Citing sources, several media reports said the Delhi ministers would be charged with criminal conspiracy, and that a chargesheet in the case would be filed soon.
According to the media reports, the police have prepared a chargesheet based on the evidence and statements given by many. The chargesheet will reportedly carry names of 11 other Aam Aadmi Party MLAs other than Kejriwal and Sisodia.

Earlier this year, CS Anshu Prakash had alleged that he was manhandled and assaulted by Aam Aadmi Party lawmakers at a late night meeting at Kejriwal’s home on February 19.
Last month, AAP convenor Kejriwal joined the investigation in connection with the case.
Police have already questioned the 11 AAP MLAs who were present at the CM’ residence for the meeting. Two MLAs Amantullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal were arrested in the case.
On February 23, a police team had examined the CCTV system installed at the chief minister’s residence in the Civil Lines area and seized the hard disk.
The alleged assault on the chief secretary had triggered a bitter tussle between the Delhi government and its bureaucracy with the AAP alleging that Prakash and several other bureaucrats had skipped meetings and refused to cooperate since then.
Kejriwal along with three other ministers of his cabinet recently spent nine days protesting inside a guest room at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal’s office, Raj Niwas, and refused to end the strike until the officers were ordered to meet the chief minister.
