Delhi political dispute over PWD road inspection

Overview

A dispute regarding road quality during an inspection in the Tilak Nagar area of West Delhi has escalated into a legal and political confrontation between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Initially, Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against AAP MLA Jarnail Singh following complaints from Public Works Department (PWD) engineers. The charges included intimidation and obstructing government work. This followed allegations that Deputy Chief Minister Pravesh Verma slapped an individual during the same inspection.

The situation expanded as police registered a subsequent FIR against AAP leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj, Jarnail Singh, and several party workers. These charges involve the alleged attack on and obstruction of a head constable on duty in plain clothes. AAP leaders have responded by accusing the Delhi Police of acting as a “shield for the BJP” and have demanded legal action against Pravesh Verma.
