The fight between AAP and BJP in the national capital shifted from the civic house to a police station with the two parties accusing each other of assaulting women councillors. 

AAP leaders sat on a late night dharna outside the Kamla Market police station in Delhi demanding an FIR against BJP for "an attempt of murder" on AAP's women councillors. Delhi mayor Shelly Oberoi  has also alleged that a few members of the saffron party inflicted life-threatening attack on her on February 24. 

BJP councillor Meenakshi Sharma meanwhile filed a police complaint against AAP councillors for "causing grievous harm and injury". She accused AAP leaders of assaulting women councillors of BJP with an intent to to outrage their modesty. 

Scenes of uproar and high-decibel protests by BJP councillors were witnessed in the MCD House after Oberoi declared that one vote cast during the election to the standing committee of MCD on Friday, was "invalid".

The bedlam in the House turned into a full-bown pandemonium and violent clashes broke out between many councillors of the AAP and the BJP.
