AAP MLA and vice chairman of Delhi Jal Board, Dinesh Mohaniya, who was booked for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women was arrested on Saturday. The Sangam Vihar MLA was arrested in the middle of a press conference.
The incident in question had reportedly taken place when women approached him with a complaint regarding water crisis in their locality on Thursday.
Soon after the arrest, Kejriwal took to Twitter and said that PM Modi had declares emergency in Delhi.
"Dinesh Mohaniya arrested from his press conference in front of all TV cameras. What msg does Modi want to give to everyone?," Kejriwal tweeted. He added, " Arresting, raiding, terrorizing, filing false cases against all those whom Delhi elected."
Mohaniya was booked on charges of causing hurt, criminal intimidation and using word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman, police said.

An FIR was registered under Sections 323, 506 and 509 of IPC against Mohaniya at Neb Sarai police station.
The complainants, who are residents of Sangam Vihar, alleged that Mohaniya and his accomplices 'manhandled' and 'threatened' them when they sought his help in the water crisis faced by them.
The AAP MLA, however, denied the charge and said that he was being targeted on the basis of a purported video aired by some news channels. He said that he was not present at the place at the time of the alleged incident.
"I am ready to cooperate with the police investigation but the allegations against me are baseless," he had said.
