Aam Admi Party leader Somnath Bharti who was booked in a case previously which was registered by his wife, is now again booked in the case of his wife.
A violence case against him was registered according to the complaint of his wife named Lipika Mitra. She reported to the police that Mr. Bharti was physically and mentally abused and financially tortured his wife since 2010. This case was registered under the sections 307, 323 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code.
According to the media reports, "Me and my children are subject to harassment and torture - mental, physical and oral - by my husband Somnath Bharti... There is a persistent threat from my husband and his supporters.”
Last month he was in the news by his controversy saying during a discussion in the Delhi assembly on crimes against women, "I am fully confident that if Delhi government is given full control (over security), beautiful women will be able to go out even after midnight without any fear."
