There seems to be no relief in sight for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as the Delhi Police on Wednesday began filing a chargesheet against 21 AAP MLAs.

There seems to be no relief in sight for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as the Delhi Police on Wednesday began filing a chargesheet against 21 AAP MLAs, including the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Kejriwal has been named in 6 cases out of 25 cases in which the police is filing the chargesheet. The police is also probing two other cases against Kejriwal, according to The Times of India. The report added that the cases against the Delhi CM involve holding protests despite prohibitory orders and preventing public servants from performing their duty.

These charges against Kejriwal come at a time when the Delhi CM and Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung were in the middle of a power tussle over the appointment of bureaucrats in the state.

AAP also faced a lot of criticism after the former Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar was arrested for allegedly producing a fake law degree, immediately after which grave allegations of domestic abuse were made against another AAP leader and former Law Minister Somnath Bharti.

The allegations in the chargesheet being prepared by the Delhi police also include serious offences like molestation and storing liquor bottles in premises, according to IBNLive.

The charges over storage of liquor bottles have been made against Naresh Baliyan. Another AAP leader Manoj Kumar has been named in the chargesheet in a molestation case. The Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel has been charged with beating up people, according to the report.

Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi, however, has denied having any knowledge of the chargesheets against the AAP MLAs.

"What you have come to know is not known to me," he said in reply to question on the chargesheets. But he added that "in pending cases our objective is to complete the investigations at the earliest and bring the facts before the court."

Reacting to the media reports, senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh said this was nothing, but an act of "cowardice" and the Delhi Police and the Centre shouldn't treat AAP as a "soft target".

"The Delhi Police and the commissioner should understand that whoever violates law in the Modi government goes to jail. He should look at what happened to IAS and IPS officers in the state.

"If there are charges against any of us, then they are free to register cases. But don't look at AAP as a soft target," Singh said.

Another AAP leader Ashutosh reacted strongly to this development, alleging that the Modi government had planted this story to divert the attention of 'gullible' TV news channels from the controversy surrounding Lalit Modi and Sushma Swaraj.

An editor told me they are under tremendous pressure to move away fm Sushma as its now hurting those in BJP who wanted to fix Sushma. — ashutosh (@ashutosh83B) June 17, 2015

Ashutosh also sarcastically said that he was feeling 'left out' because his name was missing from the chargesheet.

My name is missing in the list of people to be arrested by Delhi police.Many cases Ag me also.Feeling left out and unimportant. — ashutosh (@ashutosh83B) June 17, 2015
