This comes after Delhi Police earlier rejected AAP MLA Chadha's request for permission to hold a demonstration outside Home Minister Amit Shah's residence on Sunday in view of the pandemic. Earlier on Saturday, Chadha had written a letter to Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police requesting for permission to hold dharna outside the residence of Union Home Minister against alleging misappropriation of funds by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). 

Delhi Police in its order said, "..Any type of gathering is not allowed outside the residence of Honorable Home Minister of India. Your request has been considered but rejected. You are requested to co-operate with the Delhi Police," the Delhi Police said in its reply."
