Kejriwal Alleged Gujarat Police For Raiding Their Offices

Ahmedabad police have denied conducting any such raid

Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal alleged the Gujarat Police for raiding and searched their offices in Ahmedabad last evening and left without finding anything. Despite the allegations, Ahmedabad police have denied conducting any such raid.

Ahead of that, the state police said, they will be coming back again, tweeted the party's Gujarat leader Isudan Gadhvi. The BJP is "shocked by the public support AAP is getting," said Mr Kejriwal, who reached Ahmedabad on a two-day Gujarat tour this evening.

In a tweet Leader, Gandhvi said, "Gujarat Police raid on Aam Aadmi Party's Ahmedabad office as soon as Kejriwal reached Ahmedabad. Searched for two hours. Nothing found. Said he would come again."

"The BJP is horrified by the immense support it is getting from the people of Gujarat. A storm is brewing in Gujarat in favour of AAP. After Delhi, now started raiding Gujarat too. Nothing was found in Delhi, and nothing was found in Gujarat. We are staunchly honest and patriotic people," tweeted in Hindi by AAP convenor Kejriwal.

Ahmedabad police took to Twitter this morning to deny that any such raid was conducted.

"The news that the Aam Aadmi Party office has been raided by the police has come to light through social media. No such raids have been carried out by the city police," it said.

While responding to the tweets, Mr Gadhvi said that three police officers had come for the raids. "They did not have any warrant or document. The raid was unofficial. There was no mention of it in the records. This is the BJP's style of harassing people in Gujarat."

AAP, which is at loggerheads with the BJP, has come under the scanner of the central investigative agencies in Delhi and Punjab.

Last month, Mr Kejriwal's deputy Manish Sisodia's premises were searched by the Central Bureau of Investigation over an alleged scam in the liquor policy.

In May, several AAP members were detained after they held protests against police action on councillors in Surat outside BJP offices. In Surat, AAP protesters led by its state unit chief Gopal Italia and BJP workers clashed during the day, leading to injuries to some.
