Another Ugandan woman moves court seeking FIR against Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti

The Ugandan national deposed before a Delhi court today, which will decide on her plea later in the day.

Arvind Kejriwal, who met Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung today, said it was a "routine meeting"; his Aam Aadmi Party said such meetings take place every week and it has nothing to do with Somnath Bharti.

The Congress, which offers external support to the Mr Kejriwal's government in Delhi, too met Mr Jung demanding action against Mr Bharti. "We have asked Lieutenant Governor to intervene and direct Delhi police to act according to the law. Whatever legal action is to be taken, should be taken. The Lieutenant Governor has assured that he will see to it that an impartial probe takes place in the matter," said Delhi Congress president Arvinder Singh Lovely, who headed the delegation.

Aam Aadmi Party chief spokesperson Yogendra Yadav apologised on an NDTV show last evening to the BJP's Arun Jaitley and senior lawyer Harish Salve for Somnath Bharti saying, "I want to spit at their faces." Mr Yadav said the minister's "language was not acceptable." (Should AAP remove Somnath Bharti? Vote here)

The AAP leader, however, argued that there is no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing by Mr Bharti during his midnight raid in a south Delhi locality. He promised that the party would investigate the charges against Mr Bharti. (Watch)

Somnath Bharti has been accused of vigilantism, of gross racism and sexism, and of "stoking prejudices." Earlier, a Ugandan woman said in a court statement that she has identified Mr Bharti as the man who led a mob that attacked her. (Read)

The Delhi BJP too has said it wants Somnath Bharti sacked. BJP leaders have described Mr Bharti as the "biggest law breaker" and plan to stage a sit-in tomorrow to press for his resignation. A group of 40 academicians and rights activists have written an open letter to Mr Kejriwal explaining why they believe Mr Bharti must go. They have attached links to video from his midnight raid to attest to their allegations against him.

Mr Kejriwal has so far been staunch in his defense of his minister. His 33-hour demonstration in the heart of Delhi this week was centred around Mr Bharti's anger that the police in the area had refused to raid the African nationals at his behest.

The cop who told Mr Bharti that he would not conduct a raid without a search warrant has been sent on leave as part of a compromise formula to get Mr Kejriwal to call off the protest. (Read: I was only following the law, says suspended cop who clashed with Somnath Bharti)

Despite being caught on camera, Mr Bharati has denied all accusations against him. His name has not been added to a case registered by the police, but cops say it can be added in the chargesheet if an investigation throws up evidence against him.
