New Delhi, Jan 11 AAP MLA Somnath Bharti, who faced ink attack and was later arrested in Rae Bareli for allegedly making "objectionable" remarks, said "false prosecutions" has never scared him. Minutes after facing ink attack, Somnath Bharti was arrested while he was on his way to inspect some government schools in Rae Bareli on Monday. The AAP MLA was arrested for criminal intimidation and promoting enmity between groups, police said, following remarks allegedly referring to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the state's hospitals. In a series of tweets after his arrest, Somnath Bharti hit out at Yogi Adityanath for "misrule" in Uttar Pradesh and said he will keep fighting for the people of the state. "The fear of false prosecutions, police and mercenary goons has neither scared me before nor will ever scare me in the future. Yogi ji, if you had done public work like Kejriwal ji, you would not have to do all this. Your political end is sure. Attack in the presence of police with ink first and then a case," Somnath Bharati tweeted.
