Punjab Police on Sunday night arrested AAP MLA Naresh Yadav who has been booked in connection with the alleged Malerkotla sacrilege incident on June 24.
“We arrested AAP MLA Naresh Yadav from his house in Delhi.
He will be produced in a Malerkotla court on Monday,” Punjab Police, IG (Patiala Zone), Paramraj Singh Umra Nangal said.
He said a team of Punjab police was dispatched to Delhi to arrest Yadav.
Nangal said an arrest warrant was procured from a Malerkotla court to arrest Yadav. Yadav has been booked under relevant sections of the IPC after one of the accused, Vijay Kumar, arrested in connection with the incident, claimed he had done it at the behest of the AAP MLA.
