Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been named as an accused in an FIR filed by state BJP unit chief Manoj Tiwari in connection with the scuffle that took place during the inauguration ceremony of the Signature Bridge.
Earlier on November 4, Tiwari got into a brawl with the AAP workers and the Delhi Police at the inauguration ceremony after which he wrote to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) North-East Delhi and filed a complaint against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, Kejriwal and many unknown persons. Khan was even caught on camera pushing Tiwari during the event.
Speaking to reporters after the incident, Tiwari had claimed that the entire scuffle took place in front of CM Kejriwal. He had alleged that he was stopped by the police and AAP supporters from attending the event, news agency ANI reported.
The Signature Bridge was inaugurated on November 4 and was opened for the public the next day. The 675-metre-long bridge aims to reduce the travel time as well as the traffic congestion between northeast and north Delhi. It is also the first assymetrical cable-stayed bridge in India.
