Delhi Court Shelves 2-year Jail Term Of AAP's Somnath Bharti In AIIMS Case

A Delhi court on January 28 provided some respite to AAP MLA Somnath Bharti after suspending his two-year jail term in a 2016 case where he had allegedly assaulted staff and damaged properties of AIIMS-Delhi. However, the court asked Bharti to pay a personal bond of Rs 20,000. Special Judge Vikas Dhull pronounced the decision while hearing an appeal filed against a magisterial court’s order that had sentenced the punishment for Bharti on January 23.
