The Uttar Pradesh Police on Monday arrested Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi legislator Somnath Bharti for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Chief Minister Adityanath and for commenting about the dismal condition of hospitals in the state, reported The Indian Express.
The complaint was filed by Bharatiya Janata Party member Somnath Sahu against Bharti at Jagdishpur Police Station in Amethi for his derogatory statements about the chief minister, according to Bar and Bench. Another first information report was registered against him at Rae Bareli, on a complaint by Kotwali Station House Officer Atul Kumar Singh, after the politician allegedly misbehaved with the police.
Bharti was on his way out to visit a government school in Rae Bareli on Monday to highlight the crumbling state of infrastructure under the Adityanath-led government. But the police did not allow him to leave, and surrounded the guest house where the politician was staying, according to NDTV. They said the neighbouring Amethi police wanted to question and arrest Bharti in a case filed against him for certain “derogatory remarks”.
