A street vendor filed complaint against BJP MP Kirit Somaiya in Mumbai alleging that he manhandled him and also collected penalty money from him.
The vendor further alleged that the BJP MP pushed him and asked to vacate the place.
"He (Kirit Somaiya) came at 8 pm and asked us to vacate the place. He came again, we told him we are vacating but he pushed us," a vendor said.
The vendor also said that Somaiya also threw the bag of a woman who was buying vegetables.
He also alleged that the BJP leader made all of them pay a fine of Rs 1250.
The BJP MP has not made any clarification in this regard as of now.
