New Delhi: Arrested Aam Aadmi Party MLA Manoj Kumar was reportedly hospitalised last night after he complained of chest pain within hours of being sent to police custody by a Delhi court. He was arrested in a case of alleged cheating and land-grabbing.

He was initially admitted at Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Hospital and was later shifted to AIIMS. Delhi Police has so far not been able to question him.

On the other hand the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that BJP has indulged in ‘blow the belt politics’. AAP has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre for targeting it.

“Continuing with its vendetta politics and efforts to score revenge with the people of Delhi for drubbing the BJP in the Assembly elections, Delhi Police under Prime Minister Narendra Modi today arrested Aam Aadmi Party MLA Manoj Kumar. The party strongly condemns the action and terms it as below the belt politics of BJP losing ground support in Delhi and elsewhere in the country,” said AAP in a statement late last evening.
