Delhi Police File NCR After PWD Minister Parvesh Verma Slaps Man During Tilak Nagar Road Inspection
Saheb Singh accused Verma of snatching his phone and threatening him, while the minister said he was provoked after his family was abused.
- On Monday, Delhi Police registered a non-cognizable report against Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma for allegedly slapping a man during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar on Sunday.
- The confrontation occurred amid a heated dispute between Verma and AAP MLA Jarnail Singh over the "poor quality" of newly constructed roads, with Singh filming the inspection to document construction issues.
- Saheb Singh, an associate of Jarnail Singh, alleged that security personnel grabbed him by the neck before Verma slapped him; Verma claimed he was provoked by family abuse.
- Separately, the PWD and a private contractor filed complaints against Jarnail Singh, alleging he engaged in "acts of interference and undue pressure" while demanding money at the work site.
- An NCR requires court permission for investigation, unlike an FIR, as Verma received support from Bharatiya Janata Party members who claimed his accuser was a "habitual" offender.
