Case against AAP chief, aides for unlawful assembly

A day after Arvind Kejriwal kicked off his Lok Sabha campaign in Maharashtra amid chaos, Mumbai police on Thursday registered a case against the AAP leader and his supporters on the charge of unlawful assembly outside the domestic airport in Mumbai. "Kejriwal and his supporters had assembled outside the airport just after he landed from Delhi. The assembly was in violation of the order duly promulgated by police that more than five persons cannot assemble in a place without police permission," a police officer said.

Police sources said a report on the cases will be forwarded to the Election Commission as the model code is in force.
