AAP MLA Naresh Balyan Arrested in Delhi Extortion Case

Delhi Police detain Naresh Balyan after alleged links to gangster Kapil Sangwan and extortion claims surface.

AAP legislator Naresh Balyan was arrested by Delhi Police in connection with a 2023 extortion case involving alleged threats to businessmen.
An audio clip purportedly featuring Balyan and gangster Kapil Sangwan, discussing extortion plans, has been cited as key evidence in the case.
The BJP has accused AAP of fostering a culture of criminality, claiming Balyan's actions reflect broader issues within the party's leadership.
AAP leaders, including MP Sanjay Singh, have dismissed the charges as politically motivated, alleging a conspiracy by the central government to target the party.
The arrest comes as tensions escalate between AAP and BJP over rising crime rates and law enforcement in Delhi.
