Delhi Police have filed a non-cognisable report against PWD minister Parvesh Verma following a complaint from Sahib Singh, who was slapped by Verma. The police also registered an FIR under sections related to extortion on a complaint by an assistant engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD).
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal visited the affected road stretch in Tilak Nagar, demanding Verma's dismissal and arrest. He criticized the poor quality of the road, stating that it can be easily torn apart by hand. Kejriwal also highlighted the corruption in the construction of such roads in Delhi, which he claimed was unprecedented.
The incident occurred when Verma slapped a boy in a fit of rage after a video was being recorded about the alleged corruption in road construction. Kejriwal expressed his anger, stating that the government failed to build roads in Delhi during their tenure while now blaming corruption for the poor quality of roads.
The police registered the non-cognisable case of voluntarily causing hurt under Section 115 of the Indian Penal Code. Meanwhile, a separate case of extortion against unknown persons was registered in connection with the road construction work, based on a complaint by the PWD engineer.
