Delhi BJP Chief Manoj Tiwari Reprimanded by SC Over Sealing Issue, Court Says 'Being an MP Doesn't Give you Liberty to Break Law'
A bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur asked the BJP leader to explain his claims made to a news channel related to the Delhi sealing matter.
Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari was present in the Supreme Court on Tuesday after the apex court had issued a contempt notice to Tiwari on Wednesday, September 20, after the Delhi legislator was seen breaking the lock of a sealed house in the national capital. A video showing Tiwari breaking the lock of the house in Gokalpur area of New Delhi had gone viral and the matter escalated to the Supreme Court. The court also said that being an MP does not give him liberty to take the law in his hands. Manoj Tiwari Breaks the Lock of Sealed House in Delhi, Creates Massive Controversy, Watch Video.
