New Delhi, March 12 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh alleged on Thursday that a party councillor and a worker were assaulted in west Delhi and demanded that the police register an FIR and take action against those involved.
Addressing a press conference, Singh said the incident occurred on Wednesday when AAP councillor Jyoti Gautam visited her ward to inspect ongoing road work along with party worker Sanjay Bhairava in the Rajendra Nagar constituency.
He alleged, "Some individuals linked to BJP MLA Umang Bajaj attacked the worker and misbehaved with the councillor."
There was no immediate reaction available from the BJP over the allegations.
Singh claimed that Gautam later approached the police station and sought registration of an FIR, stating that the incident and injuries had been medically documented.
He urged the Union Home Ministry and the Delhi Police to take immediate action in the matter.
The AAP MP also referred to a separate case involving former party MLA Somesh Shokeen, alleging that he had received threats and an extortion demand of Rs 10 crore.
Singh said a complaint had been submitted to the police and called for a prompt investigation.
He said he would raise both issues in Parliament and before the parliamentary committee on home affairs.
