Delhi High Court Seeks Police Report on AAP Worker’s Assault Allegation Against Deputy CM

The Delhi High Court sought a police response concerning an Aam Aadmi Party worker’s allegation that Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Parvesh Verma assaulted him.

Background

The petitioner says the incident occurred during a road inspection in West Delhi on September 27. The allegation has not been judicially established.

Legal issue

The immediate issue is whether police action and procedural safeguards have adequately addressed the complaint.

Court’s approach

The Court requested a report rather than finding that the alleged assault occurred. The Deputy Chief Minister and authorities have an opportunity to respond.

What follows

The case remains pending and any criminal liability depends on investigation and lawful adjudication.
