New Delhi, June 28: In what is believed to be a massive twist,  Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia have been booked in the Chief Secretary assault case. According to a report by News18, a chargesheet for the alleged assault on Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in February will be filed next month.

The case had triggered a bitter tussle between the Delhi government and its bureaucrats. Kejriwal had agreed to join the probe following a notice by the Delhi Police on May 16. In May, a city court had dismissed Kejriwal's application seeking a copy of a video and his statement recorded by the police on May 18 in connection with the alleged assault.

According to a report by PTI, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal denied Kejriwal's plea, noting the submissions made by the Delhi Police that handing over of any such statement will be prejudicial to its investigation.

For the unversed,  reports inform that Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was allegedly assaulted during a meeting at Kejriwal's official residence on February 19. Details by the Police state that the chief minister was present when the alleged assault took place.
