New Delhi, Jan 6 (TIWN) Ahead of the MCD mayoral election scheduled to be held on Friday, the Aam Aadmi party has claimed that a deal has been finalised between Bharatiya Janata party and the Congress party.

In today’s polls, AAP has fielded former Delhi University teacher Shelly Oberoi as the mayoral candidate and Aale Mohammad Iqbal as its deputy mayor candidate, while BJP has nominated Rekha Gupta for the mayor’s post and Kamal Bagri of the BJP. Meanwhile, AAP has cried foul over Lt. Governor VK Saxena’s decision to nominate 10 BJP members as aldermen. (Here’s why that’s significant.)

Onto an update on the Anjali Singh hit-and-run case. The Delhi police Friday made the sixth arrest in the case, taking in Ashutosh, the brother-in-law of the owner of the offending vehicle, for allegedly lying about the driver of the car and covering up the crime. Earlier, Express had reported that a police investigation found that Deepak Khanna, who was accused of driving the car was not inside the vehicle at the time of the accident, and had lied to the police because he was the only one with a driving license.
