The Delhi Police on Friday registered an FIR against unidentified persons for allegedly assaulting a sanitation worker in east Delhi. The development came a day after MCD registered a complaint with Delhi Police against "unidentified goons having close association" with BJP MLA Abhay Verma for allegedly assaulting a sanitation worker in east Delhi.
On the other hand, the AAP leaders on Friday staged a protest at Laxmi Nagar against local BJP MLA Abhay Verma for allegedly assaulting a sanitation worker. The protest was led by AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar, who alleged that Verma thrashed a sanitation worker as he belongs to the Dalit community.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Amrutha Guguloth said, "Based on the complaint we received, we have registered a case under sections 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 34 (common intention) of Indian Penal Code against unidentified persons and an investigation has been taken up."
Verma, however, has alleged that AAP MLAs were trying to malign his image and that he would take legal action against them. SR
