Arun Jaitely on the AAP violence

Top AAP leaders Ashutosh and Shazia Ilmi have been named in an FIR in which charges of rioting and damage to public property have been included, raising the possibility of their arrest while 14 party workers were arrested in connection with the clashes outside the BJP headquarters here.

The FIR was lodged at Parliament Street Police Station last night against the AAP protesters and it included names of Ashutosh and Ilmi who were at the site of clashes yesterday.

Police had initially detained 33 people out of which 14 were arrested late last night while others were allowed to go.

"All those identifiable and present at the protest site have been named in the FIR," said a senior Delhi police official. Those arrested will be produced before a local court here in the afternoon.

28 people, including 13 AAP activists and 10 BJP supporters, were injured in the clashes, police said.

Ilmi accused the Delhi Police of targeting the AAP and wondered why no action was being taken against BJP activists.

"Yesterday, we got to see the discrimination of Delhi Police, which joined BJP to disperse AAP supporters staging silent protest. Police could not see bricks, stones and chairs being thrown from the inside of BJP Headquarter...They could only see people much later retaliating. Police were protecting BJP supporters," Ilmi charged.
