    AAP alleges its Ahmedabad office was raided by police, officers deny claims

    In response to the AAP's complaint, the BJP demanded access to CCTV footage of the police search.

    Digital Desk: Ahmedabad police on Monday, denied reports that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office had been searched. This comes following claims that the AAP office was raided prior to the Gujarat assembly elections.


    AAP national Joint Secretary Isudan Gadhvi taking to Twitter on Sunday night, tweeted, "Gujarat police carried out searches for two hours in AAP office, but did not find anything."

    Moreover, the post was retweeted by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who wrote "BJP is frightened because AAP is getting a tremendous response in Gujarat, there is a wave in favour of AAP, after Delhi, Gujarat AAP office was searched, but nothing will be found."

    AAP state unit president Gopal Italia, asserted in a tweet on Monday morning,"Navrangpura Police station staff named Hitesh, Parash and a third unknown person had visited the office."

    However, the Ahmedabad police denied the claims and today took to Twitter and said, "No search was carried out at AAP office." 

    Meanwhile, Isudan Gadhvi retweeted the post and claimed three cops had visited the AAP office in Ahmedabad. 

    "Three policemen had visited the office without any document or a warrant. The raids were clearly 'unofficial' and would not have any records," Gadhvi tweeted. 

     

    In response to the AAP's complaint, the BJP demanded access to CCTV footage of the police search.

    "I know, CCTV cameras are installed at AAP office. If the police had carried out a search, it should disclose the CCTV evidence in support of their assertions," party media coordinator Yagnesh Dave told the media.
