Staff correspondent, August 9, 2015
A CCTV footage shows Aam Aadmi Party's Chandni Chowk MLA Alka Lamba and an associate getting into a scuffle at a sweet shop in the Kashmiri Gate area.
Alka Lamba had been injured on Sunday morning when she was pelted with a stone during an anti-drug drive in Delhi's Kashmiri Gate area. She was taken to a hospital and discharged after first-aid.
The incident received wide media coverage and AAP blamed BJP for engineering the attack.
After the CCTV footage that was taken from the sweet shop surfaced, Alka Lamba took to Twitter to explain her version of the incident. She said she had entered the sweet shop after the stone was hurled at her. The man who threw stones at her had been arrested at the sweet shop, she pointed out.
AAP sources claim that the sweet shop is owned by local BJP leader OP Sharma, who they have blamed for the attack. BJP has denied the charge.
The footage shows Alka Lamba walking to the the shop counter and throwing away the papers on the table. She is followed by a associate who overturns the table.
