In a huge embarrassment for Delhi police, a lower court in Delhi on Saturday acquitted Aam Aadmi Party MLA, Akhilesh Pati Tripathi while admonishing the police for filing trumped up charges against the legislator.
The Rohini court also warned Delhi police not to file false cases against MLAs in future.
Renowned music composer, Vishal Dadlani asked the MLA to sue Delhi Police;
AAP MLA Akhilesh should sue Delhi Police for wrongful arrest, and media houses for defamation. Hit them HARD! https://t.co/QGQKGBFjfk

@ashu3page @sharmanagendar When this is the case, action should be taken against the police who filed these false cases

The media too came under attack for ignoring this story even though Tripathi’s arrest had dominated almost every news channel’s news agenda. The channels in particular had wasted no time in given blow by blow coverage to his arrest.
Dadlani expressed his outrage on Indian media’s decision to completely ignore Saturday’s development.
Media indicts AAP happily! But when court says case is false & reprimands police, media is quiet?Whose instructions? https://t.co/KTOCRke2up
