New Delhi : The Delhi High Court on Monday extended till October 5 the interim protection from arrest granted to AAP MLA Jarnail Singh, who has been accused of assaulting an MCD engineer and preventing him from demolishing an illegal construction in West Delhi.

Justice Indermeet Kaur extended the relief to Singh which was initially granted on May 18 and later extended till today. The court’s directions came on the plea of the MLA from Tilak Nagar constituency who had moved the high court after the trial court had on May 2 refused him anticipatory bail. Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain, appearing for Delhi Police, had opposed Singh’s application for anticipatory bail. The MLA has been booked for allegedly assaulting Athar Mustaffa and preventing him from carrying out his duty when the latter and his team had gone to demolish an illegal construction in West Delhi area on April 28.     An FIR was lodged after the police received a complaint from the engineer.
