Former Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash made the submission during the hearing of an appeal filed by him against a trial court decision to discharge Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia and nine other AAP MLAs in the 'assault' case.
Former chief secretary Anshu Prakash on Tuesday told a Delhi court that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia were the "kingpins" of a conspiracy that led to him being assaulted in 2018.
Mr Prakash made the submission during the hearing of an appeal filed by him against a trial court decision to discharge Mr Kejriwal, Mr Sisodia and nine other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs in the case.
The criminal case relates to the alleged assault on Mr Prakash during a meeting at Mr Kejriwal's official residence on February 19, 2018.
Senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, appearing for Mr Prakash, told Special Judge Geetanjli Goel that the trial court erred in its judgment of discharging the politicians in the case.
