Meanwhile, the party said one of its volunteer allegedly committed suicide.
"We are deeply saddened to hear that Arvind Malik, our active volunteer from Zaffrabad has committed suicide.
"We understand that he took the extreme step due to some family problem. We are very saddened that he chose this extreme step that has crushed all of us who cared deeply for him," an AAP statement said.
Malik shot himself Saturday morning with a weapon belonging to a family member. He was rushed to GTB Hospital but he could not be saved, the statement said, adding 'we stand with his family in this tragic hour and pray that his troubled soul finds peace.'
