New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI) A case has been registered against Aam Aadmi Party MLA Jai Bhagwan Upkar for allegedly assaulting Municipal Corporation of Delhi officials during a raid on illegal slaughterhouses in Shahbad Dairy, an official on Wednesday said.
According to the FIR, the incident happened when MCD officials, led by Sunil Kumar Ranga from the Narela zone, were inspecting a shop where 15 slaughtered goats were found.
