A major political controversy erupted in the national capital as Aam Aadmi Party legislator Jarnail Singh publicly accused Delhi Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma of physically assaulting a young resident during an on-site road inspection. Speaking during a demonstration in western Delhi, Singh alleged that the cabinet minister reacted aggressively when a local youth used a smartphone camera to record cratered asphalt and stagnant drainage water.
Senior AAP functionaries convened an emergency press conference, demanding the immediate registration of a First Information Report and the minister’s resignation for alleged abuse of official authority. In response to mounting tensions, Delhi Police deployed heavy barricades and rapid action personnel outside Verma’s official residence to prevent youth wing protesters from breaching the perimeter and staging sit-ins.
Representatives from the minister’s office categorically denied the charges, labeling the claims as politically motivated fabrications designed to obstruct ongoing infrastructure audit tours. Law enforcement authorities confirmed that they had received formal representations from both sides and are reviewing available security camera recordings to ascertain the sequence of events.
