A LIBERAL Democrat councillor who is accused of assaulting his wife has had the party whip withdrawn.
Imran Abrahim, member for Forest ward since last May, will not undertake in any public duties on behalf of the party.
The 31-year-old was arrested at his home in Knotts Green Road, Leyton, on Sunday and later charged with common assault.
He pleaded not guilty during a hearing at Waltham Forest Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The community vice chair of the finance overview and scrutiny committee will stand trial on January 28 at the same court before a district judge.
Another 31-year-old arrested in connection with the incident has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
