AAP's Kondli MLA Manoj Kumar was arrested on Thursday in a month old case of alleged land grabbing. A senior police official said Kumar was called to New Ashok Nagar Police station in East Delhi for questioning in the case.

Around a month back, a case of cheating was registered against Kumar following allegations that he duped his business partner of Rs 6 lakh. "This is an old matter related to land fraud. Questioning of Kumar is on as of now," Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said this afternoon. Vinod Kumar had alleged in his complaint to the police that Manoj used to work as a property dealer before venturing into politics.

Vinod claimed that he was Manoj's business partner and had given Rs six lakh to him to purchase a plot in November 2012 but he did not repay the amount.

According to reports, Kumar has four FIRs against him and is being probed on the charges of cheating and forgery, instigating security forces and misbehaving with woman.

Manoj Kumar was produced in court represented by advocate HS Phoolka in Karkardooma court in Delhi.

Phoolka on Thursday in court said, "The police never gave us any summon. His arrest is illegal and it is a political vendetta."

Phoolka added, "When Manoj Kumar was not an MLA, police did not take any action. But now when he is an MLA, the police has arrested him. This is biased."

AAP leader Sanjay Singh said, "Gujarat model is being implemented in delhi. We knew Manoj Kumar would be harassed like this."
