AAP leader Sanjay Singh criticized the Delhi Police and the BJP on Thursday, alleging that AAP workers' homes were being raided without prior notice or FIR.
Supporting Delhi Chief Minister Atishi's accusations against the BJP, Singh stated, "These are not just allegations... The police are raiding the houses of our workers at 10 pm. On what basis, are they saying that suspicious people are campaigning... Does the police have the right to raid and investigate someone's house at night without notice, summon, or an FIR?"
Singh also raised concerns about the Election Commission's lack of action, saying, "All this is happening under the nose of the Election Commission. We asked for time from the Election Commission. It has been 3 days but we have not been given time yet. If someone complains, no action is being taken on it. Initially, action was taken on a few complaints. But now, there is nothing... How are these elections fair?"
Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi wrote to the Election Officer of Delhi, alleging that the Delhi Police was trying to dismiss a complaint against BJP workers who reportedly intimidated AAP volunteers on January 21 and 22.
In her letter, Atishi demanded the transfer of police officials involved, accusing them of pressuring AAP workers into signing false statements claiming no violence or intimidation occurred. "I made a complaint regarding the intimidation of AAP volunteers by BJP workers yesterday (21.01.2025) and today (22.01.2025). Both complaints are enclosed. On 21.01.2025, I received a notice u/s 94 BNSS from SHO Govindpuri regarding the complaint made on 21.01.2025 (enclosed)," Atishi wrote.
She further claimed that police officers, including SHO Dharamveer, Inspector Sushil Sharma, and Constable Jai Bhagwan, were contacting AAP volunteers under the guise of recording their statements. "The Investigating Officer -- Sh Jai Bhagwan and Sh. Sushil Sharma met Vijeta, Rekha Bassi, and Deepa Deol -- who are volunteers of the Aam Aadmi Party and dictated statements to them where it was stated that no violence or intimidation took place. They then pressurized the aforementioned persons to sign those statements," the letter stated.

Atishi also alleged that when volunteers objected to signing false statements, the police tore the documents. She has called for the transfer of the officers involved, citing possible collusion with the BJP.
