New Delhi: Two more Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lawmakers are in trouble in Delhi. One of them, Rajesh Rishi, has been accused of extortion and named in a police complaint by an AAP woman worker who allegedly attempted suicide.
The other, Kartar Singh Tanwar, found an income tax team at his doorstep this morning.
Mr Rishi has denied any links with the activist who allegedly attempted suicide on July 15 over a dispute with a colleague. The police say both women have filed FIRs or First Information Reports, one naming the legislator.
Her husband has now been accused of rape in a complaint by the second woman.
He said: "I do not know the woman who has levelled allegations against me. But, I know the other woman as a party worker. My name has been unnecessarily dragged into their dispute."
After the arrest of 11 AAP lawmakers on various charges, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other party leaders have repeatedly accused the Modi government of persecuting party men.
Mr Kejriwal has described his party's power struggle with the BJP in Delhi as a "holy war between Kauravas and Pandavas", referencing the epic Mahabharat.
