A man was slapped by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lawmaker Alka Lamba when he allegedly tried to misbehave with her while she was inspecting heritage mansion of renowned poet Mirza Ghalib in New Delhi on Thursday.
The man, in his early 20s, was handed over to Kotwali police by AAP volunteers.
"He winked at me. He was looking at me in an inappropriate way. He also approached me near town hall, after which I slapped him. Following this, he started running. AAP volunteers who were there with me, chased him and handed him over to Kotwali Police.
"He claimed he was mentally unstable but even by evening his family could not produce any satisfactory evidence that he was undergoing medical treatment," Ms Lamba, who is Delhi government's Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism, said, adding that she had asked the police to take necessary action.
The lawmaker shared detail of the incident on social networking site Twitter and also posted the photographs of the youth.
