AAP MLA Col Devinder Sehrawat today claimed his younger brother Satish had impersonated him and made a call to a motorbike showroom in Mahipalpur and "threatened" its owner with "dire consequences" if he did not give a discount on purchase.
A statement from the Bijwasan legislator's office said that seeking undue discounts and using the MLA's name for purchases and public interaction is "unacceptable behaviour".
"Col Devinder Sehrawat, MLA Bijwasan constituency, has been informed today that his younger brother Satish Sehrawat had impersonated as MLA(sic) and made a telephonic call to the owner of a (motorbike) showroom at Mahipalpur to seek undue discounts and made coercive/threatening remarks of dire consequences if the discount was not extended.
"Seeking undue discounts and using the name of the MLA for purchases and public interaction is unacceptable behaviour not endorsed by Col Devinder Sehrawat," the statement said.
