The constable, who died, was posted in Karawal Nagar area and was called for maintaining law and order at India Gate area during the protests over the gangrape of a 23-year-old girl on December 16.



Kejriwal alleged that the youths were “implicated” by the police in the case.

“There is not a single proof that the government has and they are only framing these youths. Are they taking some revenge from us?” he alleged.

He said the guilty must be punished but if the police do not have any evidence against the eight youths, AAP stands by them.

“If any of those eight including AAP worker Chaman are responsible for the death of the constable, we want them to be punished. But if police are framing them, they have no evidence against these eight youths, we'll stand by them,” he said.
