New Delhi, Feb 3 (IANS) Delhi Police Tuesday said it has served notice on the AAP candidate from Uttam Nagar assembly constituency and asked him to join the probe in connection with the recovery of a large haul of liquor in a house in the area.
Commissioner of Police B.S. Bassi said they have asked Aam Aadmi Party leader Naresh Balyan to join the probe.
"On Monday, we served him (Balyan) notice, but he did not turn up. Today (Tuesday), we served him another notice... hope he will come soon," Bassi told media.
On Saturday, a team of Delhi Police's Crime Branch seized 497 cartons containing 8,352 bottles of liquor from a house in Uttam Nagar's Om Vihar area. The bottles were labelled "for sale in Haryana".
Police also registered a case under the Excise Act.
Joint Commissioner of Police Ravindra Yadav told IANS that the house belongs to a relative of Balyan.
"We have questioned many people in connection with the case. Balyan will also be questioned," said Yadav.
Balyan, however, did not respond even after repeated attempts on his phone by IANS.
The man who attended his mobile phone said: "Balyan is away. When he comes ... will ask him to talk to you."
Police said the liquor was brought to Delhi from Haryana's Bahadurgarh, and they have also informed the Election Commission about the incident.
Balyan, who is a municipal councillor from Nawada in the South Delhi Municipal Corporation, is contesting the assembly election from Uttam Nagar.
