New Delhi: Taking its attack on AAP over the recent suicide of its woman worker to the President, BJP has demanded a case of abettment to suicide be registered against the AAP leaders whose "conduct" drove her to end her life. The AAP woman worker had consumed a poisonous substance at her home in northwest Delhi's Narela and died during treatment at LNJP Hospital on July 19.

Several women MPs of the saffron party met President Pranab Mukherjee and submitted to him a memorandum in which they alleged the AAP worker was threatened with "dire consequences" when she had gone to meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and he and other AAP leaders "forced" her to have the matter scuttled.
Prior to her death, she had registered a case of molestation against AAP worker Ramesh Bhardwaj, BJP said in a statement. "Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has failed to verify and disclose as to who and on whose behalf the main accused was putting pressure on her. All these events and conduct of the political worker of the AAP party led to her suicide," the memorandum signed by Meenkashi Lekhi, MP from New Delhi, said.
