Police, however, denied any such incident.

"I am going to take legal action against the police and lodge an official complaint with the Barrackpore CP tomorrow," Singh said.

"We were conducting a routine check-up of vehicles and we did not know the MLA was inside the car.. After seeing him, we said sorry and left," Sudhakar said rubbishing Singh's claim of police attacking his vehicle.
"Nothing of that sort happened. Only his respect might have been hurt but we apologised," the officer said.
