New Delhi: Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma has alleged that some people dumped dead fish into the Yamuna a day after ferry services began operating on the river. He said he has instructed the department to file an FIR in the matter.
In a video statement, Verma said officials of his department informed him of the incident. According to him, the major festival of Chhath is approaching and these people are trying to spoil the atmosphere. He said an investigation would identify who they are and whether they have any connection with Aam Aadmi Party workers, and he also targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal over the matter.
The minister said the department is filing the FIR on Thursday. The FIR has not been independently confirmed, and the Aam Aadmi Party’s response is not available in the source material.
