Political career
[edit]Dhingan represented the Seemapuri constituency from 1998 to 2013, losing to Dharmender Singh Koli in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election. After Dhingan's loss, he alleged that Koli and his supporters took part in a victory celebration following declaration of the election results. While doing so, they entered Dhingan's house with AAP supporters and molested women who were inside.[6][7]
In 2024, Dhingan joined the Aam Aadmi Party and won as MLA in 2025 Delhi Legislative Assembly election.[8][9][10]
