New Delhi: The Delhi Police Saturday registered a case in connection with the clashes between councillors in the MCD House, officials said.
A senior police officer said they had received complaints from both the parties — the BJP and the AAP — Friday.
A case under section 160 (punishment for committing affray) of the IPC has been registered at the Kamla Nagar police station, he said.
Legal opinion will be taken as the incident took place inside the MCD house. Further investigation will take place, the officer said.
A fight broke out in the MCD House as the BJP and AAP members kicked, punched and pushed one another amid shouting after Mayor Shelly Oberoi declared one vote invalid in the election to the key six-member standing committee Friday.
During the ruckus, which forced adjournment of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) House proceedings till February 27, a councillor, Ashok Manu, collapsed. He was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Both the BJP and the AAP blamed each other for the incident that forced the mayor to adjourn the House.
One video showed councillors from both parties hurling water bottles and apples at each other inside the House while in another, women councillors could be seen hitting each other.
