Another AAP MLA arrested in case of party worker Soni's suicide

New Delhi: Yet another Aam Aadmi Party lawmaker was arrested by the Delhi Police on Saturday night.

According to reports, Sharad Chauhan, a lawmaker from Narela, has been arrested in the suicide case of AAP worker Soni. 7 others have also been arrested alongwith the AAP MLA.

Soni had committed suicide on July 19, alleging that she was urged by fellow party worker Ramesh Bhardwaj to "make compromises with her body" to "rise in the party".

"Ramesh Bharadwaj forced me to take this extreme step. I do not wish to live any further," she had said in a video statement.

Following the arrest, AAP leader Ashutosh hit out at the Modi government at the Centre.
