A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed a plea by suspended Aam Aadmi Party councillor Tahir Hussain seeking to surrender before it in connection with the alleged killing of Intelligence Bureau official Ankit Sharma, after which the police arrested him.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Pahuja rejected Hussain's plea saying that the relief sought by him was outside its jurisdiction. As the court dismissed Hussain's plea, a Delhi Police team, which had already arrived, arrested him and took him into custody.

The lawyer said Hussain has been falsely implicated in the case and sought protection for his life and property. Hussain has been booked in the murder case of the IB staffer in northeast Delhi amid violence over the new citizenship law last week.
Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party had then suspended him for his alleged involvement in the violence which has left at least 42 people dead and around 200 injured.
