According to the complainant,Dharmender allegedly molested the wife of one of the candidates he defeated on Sunday.

Police sources said the complainant alleged that on Sunday afternoon,Dharmender and his party workers were celebrating outside the rival’s house. The woman’s husband objected to Dharmender bursting crackers outside their house and this led to a scuffle.
