DelhiAAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj and MLA Jarnail Singh were detained by Delhi Police on Tuesday while protesting outside the police headquarters here, demanding an FIR against BJP’s Parvesh Verma for allegedly slapping a man on Sunday.

Bharadwaj, in a post on X, said, “It’s not about one Verma slapping one 22-year-old man, it’s about this new culture of politics. Look around and identify the local goons in your colony, the people who are abusing and intimidating residents.”

Police and the government should ensure justice. If the government deliberately wrongs citizens, they will take to the streets to protest peacefully and democratically seek their rights, he wrote. AAP workers and leaders, including Bharadwaj and Jarnail Singh, were detained in front of the police headquarters while demanding an FIR against Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma for allegedly slapping a man on Sunday. They were later released. There was no immediate response from Delhi Police.
