The woman, a resident of Jasola, had last week in a police complaint said she had telephoned Amantullah on July 10 and later went to his Batla House residence to raise the issue of power cuts with him.

She claimed the minister did not meet her and while she was returning, the youth came out of the house, abused her and threatened that she would be killed if she did not stop politicising the matter.

Later, an FIR was registered against the youth under sections 506 and 509 of IPC at Jamia Nagar police station.
