It also says they damaged a newly paved road and demanded money from the contractor.
The complaints seek action for blocking government work, threats and damage to public property.
The minister says the MLA was trying to get a commission from the contractor.
Another complaint was filed by Sahib Singh, a 22-year-old man shown in a video involving the minister.
Sahib says the minister slapped, insulted and threatened him after he raised concerns about corruption.
