The Leader of Opposition had alleged that AAP leaders and workers "misbehaved" with members of a BJP delegation at Kejriwal's residence. They had gone there to discuss about the relief to traders hit by a sealing drive against illegal commercial establishments on 30 January.

The complainant also alleged that woman mayors of BJP-ruled north and east civic bodies — Preety Agarwal and Neema Bhagat, respectively — along with LoP Gupta and his personal assistant were "attacked" by the AAP MLAs, who were accompanied by bouncers.

The Delhi BJP on Thursday demanded immediate arrest of the AAP MLAs named in the FIR.
