This comes after Delhi Police earlier rejected AAP MLA Chadha's request for permission to hold a demonstration outside Home Minister Amit Shah's residence on Sunday in view of the pandemic. Earlier on Saturday, Chadha had written a letter to Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police requesting for permission to hold dharna outside the residence of Union Home Minister against alleging misappropriation of funds by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
