AAP MLA Naresh Balyan Arrested In Connection With Extortion Case Lodged Last Year: Delhi Police
The AAP lawmaker was detained by the Delhi Police Crime Branch on Saturday evening for questioning in connection with an extortion case from 2023. He was subsequently arrested with officials citing an audio clip of his interaction with notorious gangster Kapil Sangwan. The conversation allegedly involved discussions about the collection of ransom money from businessmen.
“I am sending notices to all those who have spread the false clip and getting FIRs registered against them. Remember, I am not a Congressman. Those who spread lies should be ready for legal action,” the AAP MLA had countered earlier on Saturday.

Posts shared by the BJP on X also accused a close aide of Balyan of“talking to a gangster about a land deal, and blackmailing several other businesspersons”.
“Aam Aadmi Party MLA Naresh Balyan in a conversation with a gangster. The gangster asks why the AAP leader has filed a complaint against him. Balyan replies that he was being blackmailed by the gangster and his goons. The gangster responds that he would make some recording of Balyan viral, listening to which the MLA flips and starts singing like a canary,” the BJP wrote.
