2026-09-27 · 1 source · Economic Times India

In short

AAP said Delhi minister Parvesh Verma slapped a cameraman during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar. The report says Arvind Kejriwal asked for Verma to be arrested, and AAP MLA Jarnail Singh said the cameraman was filming at the time.

This matters because it could become a political and legal issue for the minister. The report does not include Verma’s side of the story.

What the reporting says

The Aam Aadmi Party alleged that Delhi minister Parvesh Verma slapped a cameraman during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar. The summary says the incident happened while Verma was reviewing road construction issues, and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal called for his arrest. The minister has not publicly responded in the available reporting, and the allegation remains unverified.

Why it matters
