Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma on Sunday alleged that AAP MLA Jarnail Singh had been pressuring PWD engineers to introduce him to contractors and arrange a commission, as a road inspection in Tilak Nagar descended into a confrontation after AAP shared a video that showed the minister slapping a local man.
Verma alleged that Singh had been targeting road construction work after failing to get the alleged commission, including by digging up freshly laid portions of the road and recording videos to claim corruption. He said a PWD engineer had lodged a police complaint against the MLA and was getting an FIR registered.
