The CCTV cameras at the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were running late by 40 minutes and 43 seconds on February 19 during the meeting when Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was allegedly assaulted by AAP MLAs, the forensic report has confirmed.

Investigating officials stated that the report came earlier in the week, however, it does not state if the timing were purposely altered or tampered. The report does mention that the cameras were running late by 40 minutes and 43 seconds but whether it was running like this or was set this way is a matter of investigation.

Reacting to the report, Chief Minister Kejriwal took to Twitter, saying, "Mr prime minister, such fake case against elected representatives of Delhi is humiliating to the people." He asserted that the AAP government will continue to serve people despite the "opposition" faced by it. "We will do our duty, you do yours," he added, referring to the prime minister.

The Delhi Police is in the final stages of filing its chargesheet in connection with the assault case.

"Attention of the Aam Aadmi Party has been drawn towards anonymous source based news stories planted by the Delhi Police about its preparation to file a cooked-up chargesheet on fake charges regarding an alleged fictitious incident involving the Delhi Chief Secretary. With full responsibility, the AAP states that no incident of violence took place on the night of 19th February at the residence of the Delhi Chief Minister," said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj in a statement.

He further stated that the Delhi Police have been planting all kinds of fictitious stories since the last four months, but have been unable to answer a simple question that if the Chief Secretary was assaulted, how was it that he was seen in the CCTV footage normally walking out on his own from the CM residence?

On February 23, a team of Delhi Police officials had reached the residence of the CM and seized the CCTV hard disk. Fourteen CCTV cameras were running late while seven others did not have recording facility. Prakash was allegedly attacked during a meeting at Kejriwal's official residence on February 19.
