She also alleged that senior party leaders faced brutal attacks as they were staging protest outside the heavily barricaded ED office in Delhi on Wednesday.
“Our workers are being beaten up mercilessly. For the last two days the police which cordoned off the entire area of the ED office in Delhi restricted our party leaders from entering into the office. Police had brutally attacked and tortured our senior party leaders,” she alleged.
