Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma has addressed a viral video showing him slapping a man during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar, claiming the man had abused his family before the incident. Verma stated, "What happened should not have happened," while alleging the man made abusive remarks about his family. The minister also accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of trying to disrupt government work and impeding road construction.
He alleged that the local AAP MLA, Jarnail Singh, demanded a commission from a contractor and harassed Verma's engineers, leading to repeated damage of the newly constructed road. Verma claimed to have called Jarnail Singh three times and waited for 45 minutes, but Singh arrived with supporters and began misbehaving. The minister stated that engineers had already reported the issue to the police and an FIR was being pursued.
