14 Sep 2015 Evaluate

A Delhi Court dismissed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Somnath Bharti's anticipatory bail plea in the domestic violence case filed against him by his wife Lipika Mitra. Lipika had filed a complaint with the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) in June, accusing him of domestic violence and mental torture since 2010. Bharti was earlier named in an FIR filed under several Sections of the Indian Penal code (IPC), including domestic violence and attempt to murder.

Mitra said that Bharti being a leader and a responsible citizen should not do whatever he is doing. If charges against him are proved wrong, she was ready to face any consequences. Lipika has been married to Bharti since 2010, but has been living separately from him since 2012 along with the couple's two children in a rented accommodation in Dwarka.
