Arrested AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan sent to one-day police custody
He was produced in the court by the police.
Delhi Police sought his custody and it was granted to them by Metropolitan Magistrate Ashok Kumar.
Khan was arrested on charges of threatening a woman with rape and murder.
Following his arrest, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and posted: "Just in - Modi ji arrests one more AAP MLA."
The woman has alleged that Khan had directed a young man to threaten her with rape.

The police has said that Khan is also accused of attempting to run over the woman with his car.
