The Aam Aadmi Party has formally asked Delhi's administration to register an FIR against Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Pravesh Verma following the recent slap incident.
Delhi's political climate intensified on Tuesday as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) publicly called for a First Information Report (FIR) against Deputy Chief Minister Pravesh Verma, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The demand stems from a recent incident in which Verma was alleged to have slapped a person, sparking widespread criticism and media coverage.
AAP officials said the alleged act violated legal norms and demanded that the Delhi police act promptly to register an FIR, ensuring that the matter is investigated under the law. The party framed the demand as part of its broader effort to hold opposition leaders accountable for any misconduct.
The call for an FIR adds to the growing political friction between the ruling AAP government in Delhi and the BJP, which holds significant influence at the national level. While the police have not yet confirmed whether an FIR will be filed, the demand underscores the heightened scrutiny on political figures involved in controversial incidents.
No further details about the victim or the exact circumstances of the slap have been released, and both parties have refrained from commenting beyond their official statements.
