The assault case relates to a late-night meeting held at CM Kejriwal's Civil Lines home in Delhi on February 19. Anshu Prakash, a 1986-batch IAS officer of the Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre, who was called for the meeting, had alleged that he was assaulted by AAP MLAs Amanat Ullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal in the presence of Kejriwal and Delhi deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

The incident had triggered a bitter power tussle between the Delhi government and its bureaucrats earlier this year.
