The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) Vice-Chairperson Raghav Chadha has approached the Magistrate’s Court for monitoring of investigation by filing an application under Section 156(3) against leaders of the Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in connection with alleged vandalism in Delhi Jal Board office.
In the face of “brazen” acts of lawlessness executed by vandalising the DJB headquarters at Varunalaya, Jhandewala in the presence of Delhi Police officials, followed by the astonishing inaction for conducting an effective investigation, the vice-chairperson of DJB has moved an application under Section 156(3) of CrPC praying for court’s kind intervention and monitoring of investigation carried out by the police officials.
Chadha had alleged last month that a group of protesters belonging to the BJP, led by the state unit chief Aadesh Gupta, barged into the civic agency’s headquarters in Jhandewalan and vandalised his office.
“The application for monitoring of investigation states that “ upon the outrageous and unprecedentedly horrendous turn of events, wherein by resorting to brazen acts of vandalism and hooliganism orchestrated by Adesh Gupta- president of Delhi BJP, Yogendra Chandoliya, Ravi Tanwar, Vikas Tanwar and more than 200-250 BJP workers in the prosecution of their common object unleashed series of grave and serious cognizable offences in broad daylight at headquarter,” the party said in a statement.
