The second time in less than a month.

In mounting trouble for Aam Aadmi party (AAP), another party MLA has now been booked for allegedly misbehaving with a woman.

"A case has been registered against MLA Prakash Jarwal under section 354, 506, 509 & 34 of IPC for misbehaving with a woman," reported ANI.

The case was filed against Deoli MLA by the complainant in Greater Kailash police station. Jarwal is also a member of the Delhi Jal Board.

Speaking to ANI, Jarawal said that rhe woman who had filed an FIR against him is a member of the Rashtravadi Janata Party.

"She mentioned it in her complaint addressed to Lieutenant Governor. It is their political game to defame every MLA. She is like my mother; notice the age difference, if there is any video proof of me misbehaving with her I will quit politics," Jarwal said.

He added that he will cooperate with police in their investigation and if proven, he will be ready to go to jail. "I will completely cooperate with the police with their investigation. I am ready to go to jail," he said.

A fortnight ago, AAP MLA and VC of Delhi Jal Board, Dinesh Mohaniya, was booked and arrested for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women. He has also been accused of slapping a 60-year-old man for allegedly failing to recognise him.
