Contractor Vimal Tandon was also present in the office at the time for official work.According to Singla, councilor Chatarvir Singh, accompanied by an unidentified associate, entered his office and began abusing him over patchwork repairs of roads in his ward. He alleged that Singh then grabbed him by the collar and assaulted him, while the unidentified associate also joined in the scuffle.The duo allegedly tore official documents lying on the table and threw them away. When contractor Vimal Tandon attempted to intervene, other municipal officials, including JE Gaurav Kumar and SDO Balwinder Singh, rushed to the office after hearing the commotion. They rescued Singla and escorted the councillor towards the door in an attempt to calm the situation.However, Singla alleged that the councillor picked up a chair and hurled it at him in a fit of rage.

Following an investigation, the police registered a case against Singh and his unidentified associate.Speaking to mediapersons, Singh denied the allegations and claimed that a false FIR had been lodged against him.

Describing the incident as a minor argument that was being exaggerated, Arora said he would present evidence in court and file a complaint with the vigilance department seeking a probe against the officer.
