Political storm in Delhi! PWD Minister Parvesh Verma faces a non-cognisable report for alleged assault, while AAP leaders Jarnail Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj are also under fire. Kejriwal demands action amidst heated pro
A political firestorm has erupted in Delhi, centering around PWD Minister Parvesh Verma and an alleged slapping incident that has triggered a cascade of complaints and protests. The Delhi Police have filed a non-cognisable report (NCR) against Minister Verma following a complaint by Sahib Singh, who claims he was slapped by the minister.
The controversy escalated with an assistant engineer from the Public Works Department also filing an FIR alleging extortion, though the details linking this directly to the slap row are still unfolding. In a parallel development, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Jarnail Singh is now facing an FIR for allegedly obstructing public servants in the discharge of their duties.
Reports also indicate that senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj was stopped at a barricade during a protest related to the ongoing row.
AAP has swiftly condemned the situation, with national convener Arvind Kejriwal demanding the immediate dismissal and arrest of PWD Minister Parvesh Verma. Kejriwal highlighted the alleged substandard quality of a road built in Tilak Nagar as part of his criticism, suggesting it was linked to the broader issues. The party has mobilized, with protests unfolding across the city, intensifying the political heat.
The series of events underscores growing tensions in Delhi's political landscape.
As investigations proceed into both the alleged assault by Verma and the obstruction charges against AAP leaders, the public awaits further clarity. The incident has not only sparked a legal battle but also fueled a significant political showdown, with AAP determined to hold the minister accountable.
