"Anyone can come up with the video and claim that someone did something. What is the authenticity of the video released by the AAP? It should be probed," Upadhayay told reporters.
A clash had broken out between AAP and BJP workers on Saturday evening during shooting for a TV news debate and vehicle belonging to AAP's Tughlakabad candidate Sahi Ram was torched later. At least 12 people were injured in the clash.
The party has also alleged that those who attacked its workers were supporters and relatives of South Delhi BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri and has demanded that the parliamentarian be sacked from his party.
The AAP had yesterday claimed that "video" meant that the assault was "premeditated".
"The videos nail the BJP's lie that it was a clash. The footage makes it clear that nephew of the BJP MP directed the mob to attack the AAP volunteers in the TV show. The attack was premeditated," the AAP had said in a statement.
Bidhuri also has strongly rejected the allegations, terming them as baseless and politically motivated.
