The complaint was filed by Mukesh Kumar, who as MCD assistant sanitary inspector, ward number 28, Narela Zone supervised the sanitation workers of the ward.
On Wednesday around 10 am, he and sanitary inspector Nanhe Ram supervising the cleaning work done by the staff in Shahbad Dairy area in front of JE store, when the MLA manhandled him, Kumar said in his complaint.
Upkar came with some of his workers and complained to Kumar angrily that they do not clean his area and receive salaries despite doing no work, it said.
Kumar replied by saying they clean the area regularly, to which Upkar responded with abuses, the complaint said.
The MCD employee told the AAP leader that he was creating obstacles in government work and added that if cleanliness in his area was not up to the mark, they will clean it again, the complaint said.
