BJP today questioned the Aam Aadmi Party after Delhi Police linked the family of a student apprehended in the Delhi School bomb threat to a politically affiliated NGO. Briefing media in New Delhi, party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said, as per the Delhi police investigation, the threat call originated from a person who is juvenile, and his family was linked to NGOs involved in activities like protesting against Afzal Guru’s hanging. Mr Trivedi asked AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal to clarify his party’s ties with such people.

Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party has rejected the allegation. Senior party leader Sanjay Singh alleged that the BJP is politicising the issue of school children getting threats. He said the first threat was given in May last year, and after around nine months, the Delhi police have given no statement, but the BJP leader is holding a press conference.

Delhi Police has said that the parent of the juvenile is associated with an NGO, which has deep connections to a particular political party. Addressing a press conference, Special CP Law and Order Madhup Tiwari said the police are investigating the political motive behind this issue.
