Delhi Police File FIR Against AAP Leaders Over Constable Assault

Delhi Police registered an FIR against Aam Aadmi Party leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj and Jarnail Singh, along with other party workers, over the alleged assault of a head constable during a gathering in Tilak Nagar. Police said the officer was recording the visit of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal when supporters surrounded and assaulted him. The FIR alleges assault and obstruction of a public servant; it does not establish the roles of the individuals named. The case followed a separate confrontation involving Delhi minister Parvesh Verma during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar. Sahib Singh, an aide to Jarnail Singh, said Verma slapped him after he pointed out damage to the road surface. A video circulated online appeared to show Verma striking Singh, but the supplied accounts do not establish the full sequence or context. Verma said an AAP worker abused his family and that he reacted after being provoked. AAP leaders said Singh was documenting the road’s condition when Verma struck him. Police registered a non-cognisable report against Verma following Singh’s complaint, according to reports.
