- AAP leaders alleged police stopped them from lighting candles, snatched candles, and tore posters bearing victim Kamal Dhyani’s name.
- Bhardwaj claimed they were taken to the distant Jafarpur police station and questioned why the DJB contractor KK Spun was not arrested.
- The 25-year-old victim died after his motorcycle fell into a 15-foot pit for a Delhi Jal Board sewer project in Janakpuri, as a senior officer said further details on earlier complaints would be shared and the Delhi BJP accused AAP of politicising the tragedy.
