Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Tuesday against Atishi, the AAP candidate for Kalkaji, accusing her of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) and obstructing public officials in the performance of their duties, a police representative disclosed.

Authorities stated the FIR was filed at Govindpuri Police Station under several sections, with investigations actively continuing.
