AAP leader Somnath Bharti sent to police custody
He was arrested at around 4 am.
After evading arrest for nearly a week, Bharti surrendered at Dwarka (North) police station on Monday.
Lipika Mitra, whom Bharti married in 2010, has accused him of beating and torturing her. She has alleged that he once tried to strangle her and unleashed his dog on her when she was pregnant.
Embarrassed by the happenings that threatens to sully the party's image, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday tweeted: "Somnath shud surrender.Why is he running away?Why is he so scared of gng to jail? Now he is becoming embarrassment for party n his family."
