Chandigarh/New Delhi: The Punjab Police on Sunday arrested Delhi AAP legislator Naresh Yadav in connection with the Quran sacrilege incident in the state’s Muslim-dominated town of Malerkotla last month. Punjab Police sources said that Yadav, who is the AAP legislator from Mehrauli, was arrested from Delhi and was being brought to Punjab where he will be produced in a court in Malerkotla town, 100 km from Chandigarh.
The arrest came just hours after the Malerkotla court issued his arrest warrants. The AAP legislator was addressing media in Delhi when the Punjab Police team arrived to arrest him. “We arrested him from his office today (Sunday) evening after obtaining arrest warrants from the Malerkotla court. We have enough evidence in this case against the MLA,” said a Punjab Police official.-IANS
