NEW DELHI: Interrogation of AAP MLA Manoj Kumar, who was taken on a two-day police remand, has revealed that he was involved in a case of stabbing a man in 1998, but his father managed to go for an out-of-court settlement with the victim. Police have called the victim to record his statement.

Manoj had admitted himself to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital immediately after he was sent to police custody. He was first referred to GB Pant Hospital and later sent to AIIMS after he complained of headache and chest pain on Friday but doctors discharged him after a checkup. Police sources say that in 1998, Manoj was student at a college in Delhi University and used to stay in a house in Kalyanpuri with his family. His father was a sub-inspector.

Kumar had a fight with an electrician named Subhash Chand. Manoj initially resolved the matter but allegedly attacked him with a knife later, Chand says. Chand had to be admitted to a hospital with severe injuries and a case of attempt to murder was registered. Kumar was arrested.
