New Delhi. Tension prevailed in Delhi’s Madanpur Khadar area on Thursday when people pelted stones at the police during an anti-encroachment operation and the police had to resort to mild lathi-charge to disperse the crowd. Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan, who reached the spot to support the people, was taken into custody by the police. The situation became uncontrollable after people opposed it and pelted stones. Police had to use force to disperse the crowd.
Talking to the media, Khan accused the Municipal Corporation of demolishing the houses of the poor. He said he was ready to go to jail if his arrest could save people’s homes. He said, “You had said that you will remove the encroachment. I am with you in this, but you are demolishing the houses of the poor. There is not a single encroachment in this area.”
As per the latest reports, the police have cordoned off the entire area, while some stone pelters have also been detained.
