Aam Aadmi Party MLA Surinder Singh may appear before Delhi Police officials today in connection with the alleged beating and manhandling of a New Delhi Municipal Council worker, after he failed to join the probe on Thursday.

The MLA and his companions had allegedly beaten and manhandled a beldar of NDMC Mukesh who was part of a team that was conducting a routine check of encroachment in Tughlaq Road area on August 4.

Sanitary Inspector R J Meena said the NDMC team was acting against a vendor for encroachment when the MLA arrived and started arguing in favour of him and later beat up Mukesh alongwith his men.

A case was registered against Singh and two other persons under various sections of the IPC and SC/ST Act, on Meena's complaint.

An ACP level officer is supervising the probe into the incident.

Despite several attempts, Singh could not be reached for comments.

AAP leader Ashutosh defended his colleague and alleged that "fake" cases were being registered against party MLAs and functionaries.
