Anshu Prakash had alleged that he was roughed up by AAP MLAs Amanatullah Khan and Parkash Jarwal during a meeting at the Chief Minister's residence after midnight on February 20.

While Parkash Jarwal was arrested by the Delhi Police on February 21, Amanatullah Khan surrendered at the Jamia Nagar Police Station. Khan, however, had claimed innocence while surrendering.
