A case of molestation was filed against newly elected Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) MLA from Seemapuri, Dharmendra Singh Koli.

According to reports, the FIR was filed on the complaint of the losing Congress MLA Veer Singh Dhingan's wife.

She has alleged that Koli and others entered their house and misbehaved during their victory march.

Dhingan also claimed that Koli's supporters threw alcohol bottles inside a Valmiki temple in the area.

However, Koli has denied the charge saying it was "a fake case" and "an attempt to malign my image."

AAP leader Manish Sisodia also said that the allegations seem politically motivated but they will punish Koli if found guilty.

"It's a shocking allegation. This seems politically motivated. If we find any proof, we will take strict action against him," Sisodia added.
