The Delhi police, on Saturday, arrested Aam Aadmi Party MLA Prakash Jarwal and co-accused Kapil Nagar in connection with the suicide of a doctor here last month, officials said.

Jarwal and Nagar were called for questioning on Saturday evening and later arrested, police said.

On Friday, a Delhi court issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against the MLA in connection with the case.

The 52-year-old doctor, Rajendra Singh, had allegedly committed suicide in Durga Vihar, south Delhi, on April 18, holding Jarwal responsible in his suicide note, following which the police had registered a case against the legislator on charges of extortion and abetment to suicide. PTI
