FIR against AAP MLA for abusing women at office

Downplaying the allegations being levelled against him, the Sangam Vihar MLA told ANI that the woman complainant never visited his office. He further said there is no video or photographic proof to back this allegation. In response, Mohaniya allegedly began hurling abuses at them, and his supporters pushed them out of his office.

Leader of Opposition and party MLA Vijender Gupta, on whose complaint the ACB registered the FIR, claimed the “scam” was going on as the monthly payments to the contractors were being made and the government has not taken any action against any official or the “guilty” contractors.

A case has been registered against AAP legislator from Sangam Vihar, Dinesh Mohaniya, after few local residents complained he had misbehaved with them when they went to report irregular water supply problem in the area, police said on Thursday.
