A formal complaint has been lodged against a Delhi cabinet minister following accusations in the so‑called ‘Slapgate’ incident, prompting police scrutiny.
Delhi police have opened a case after a complaint was filed against a senior minister of the Delhi government concerning the controversial "Slapgate" episode. The grievance alleges misconduct by the minister, prompting authorities to register a formal FIR and begin preliminary investigations.
Sources familiar with the matter say the complaint was submitted by an individual claiming to have witnessed the incident, which allegedly involved the minister in a physical altercation. The police have summoned the minister for questioning and are reviewing any available video or photographic evidence.
The development adds to the growing political turbulence in the capital, where opposition parties have already demanded a transparent probe. The minister's office has not yet released an official statement, but insiders suggest a response will be issued shortly.
Legal experts note that filing a report does not imply guilt, but it does trigger procedural steps under the Indian Penal Code. The case will be monitored closely by both media and political observers as it unfolds.
The incident underscores the heightened sensitivity around conduct of public officials in Delhi, especially amid upcoming electoral contests.
