Councillor reportedly collapses during brawl in Delhi MCD House

A councillor is reported to have taken severely ill during the fight that broke out between AAP and BJP in Delhi municipal house.

A video of the fracas shows the man suddenly collapsing and asking for water. He is then picked up and made to lie down on a table.

Fellow councillors can be seen rubbing his feet and fanning him as he drinks water. The man then recovers enough strength to sit up.

Earlier on Friday, after the House resumed business, Oberoi appealed to all members to maintain decorum.

"The Supreme Court had ordered to carry out elections to the posts of mayor, deputy mayor and six members of the standing committee. But a ruckus was created and the standing committee members' elections could not be held. We are all respected members and we should uphold the dignity," she said.

Oberoi announced in the House that a fresh election would be held to pick members of the standing committee.

On February 17, the top court ordered issuing a notice within 24 hours for convening the first meeting of the MCD to fix the date of elections for the mayor, deputy mayor and members of the standing committee.

Seven candidates are in the fray for the standing committee's six members.
