New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Saturday halted the screening of a documentary on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The AAP scheduled the screening of the documentary, 'Unbreakable', for the media personnel. It focuses on AAP leaders who were jailed in alleged corruption cases. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using the Delhi Police to stop the screening.

Kejriwal said that the screening was stopped by the Delhi Police as the BJP was scared of this film. "A film has been made on Aam Aadmi Party. Today, when this film was to be shown to journalists, look there, BJP prevented the screening of this film by deploying a huge police force. BJP is very scared of this film," the AAP national convenor said in an X post in Hindi.

"Why? Why does the BJP want to stop this film? What is there in this film that the BJP is scared of? This film exposes all the secrets behind the scenes when AAP leaders were wrongly arrested. It exposes the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the BJP government," he added.
