A Delhi Police team yesterday descended on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence and seized a hard disk of the CCTV camera system installed there in connection with an alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by AAP MLAs. Police claimed that its action came after its request for CCTV footage from the CM's residence was not met.

Several policemen yesterday went to Kejriwal's official residence in the Civil Lines area where Prakash was allegedly assaulted in the presence of the chief minister on the intervening night of February 19-20. A total of 21 CCTV cameras and a hard disk were examined by the police.

The hard disk has been seized and any possibility of "tampering" with the system could be ascertained only through forensic examination, said Additional DCP (North) Harendra Singh. There was no CCTV camera in the room where the alleged incident happened during the meeting an official said.
