Several senior AAP leaders were on Sunday detained by the Delhi police while they were staging a sit-in to protest against the summoning of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the CBI in connection with the excise policy case.

The detainees included Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Atishi, Kailash Gahlot, Adil Ahmad Khan, Pankaj Gupta and some ministers in the Punjab government. Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said, “The police have arrested all ministers and members. We were peacefully sitting here but the police have illegally arrested all of us.”
