2014 Delhi Midnight Raid

In a setback to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a Delhi court has ordered framing of charges against former Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti for molestation and trespassing, among others, in connection with alleged January 2014 midnight raid in Khirki Extension.

Delhi Home Minister Satyendra Jain today alleged that Lt Governor Najeeb Jung did not consider his advice before giving nod to prosecute AAP MLA Somnath Bharti in the 2014 Khirki Extension midnight raid case and said he would take up the issue with the council of ministers.

The Delhi High Court will hear on December 22, Somnath Bharti's plea challenging the NHRC order holding him guilty of "racial prejudice and unlawful acts" against 12 African women during his controversial midnight raid early this year.
