Earlier, a Delhi court had refused to grant bail to Amanatullah in a case of allegedly threatening a woman with rape and murder when she had visited his home with a complaint about power cuts in her locality.
Metropolitan Magistrate Manisha Tripathi dismissed his bail application and sent him to judicial custody till August 9, stating that he might influence witnesses and hamper investigation if released on bail.
The woman, who was earlier reportedly associated with the AAP, in her complaint said she had called up the MLA on his mobile phone on July 10 to complain about power failure in her area. ANI
