  "account": "Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Jarnail Singh has defended Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh after a video of the minister slapping one of Singh's aides went viral on social media. Singh claimed that Sahib Singh became furious when the AAP MLA removed a portion of the road he had been complaining about with his hands during a road inspection in West Delhi. Singh denied allegations that Sahib Singh or any member of his family abused his team members, stating that both he and Sahib Singh are team members and have never abused anyone. The incident occurred when Sahib Singh visited the road to inspect its poor quality, which Singh had been complaining about for several days. Singh accused the minister of staging a show and threatening to call the law against him. Both Jarnail Singh and Sahib Singh have filed complaints against each other, and police are investigating both allegations. The incident has sparked a political controversy, with AAP leaders condemning the minister's actions and calling for his accountability.",
