Delhi Police has named Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan in an FIR for manhandling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Delhi chief Manoj Tiwari during the Signature Bridge inauguration in New Delhi.

The complaint was filed by Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari.

India Today TV spoke exclusively to Amanatullah Khan. He alleged that Delhi Police and BJP are hatching a conspiracy against him. Contesting the use of Sectios 506 and 308 he called the FIR false.

He also targetted Delhi Police for naming Arvind Kejriwal in the FIR.

"I am ready to go to prison and ready to face any inquiry. But Arvind Kejriwal has no role in this matter as he was delivering speech during inauguration ceremony of Signature Bridge. Why does Delhi Police want to drag CM in every case?" he told India Today TV.

The inauguration ceremony of the Signature Bridge turned violent on November 4 when Manoj Tiwari and his supporters clashed with the AAP workers at the site.

AAP had accused Tiwari and BJP workers of hooliganism. AAP MLA Amanatullah was seen pushing Tiwari. A video of the incident went viral and it was tweeted by Delhi BJP as well. Tiwari was seen assaulting police during the scuffle as well.

"Manoj Tiwari punched the policeman, beaten the AAP workers but why did not any action taken against him? He should be sent to jail, a non-bailable warrant should be issued against him," Khan said.

AAP and BJP had filed complaints against each other soon after the incident. A case has been registered against Amanatullah under Sections 323 (criminal assault), 506 (Criminal Intimidation),308 (Attempt to commit culpable homicide), 120b (Criminal conspiracy), 341 (wrongful restraint), 34 (collective criminal act).

Police may soon call Amanatullah Khan for questioning.

Manoj Tiwari has also been mentioned in the complaint filed by AAP.

The cases have now been transferred to Crime Branch which will carry out further investigation.
