A BJP MLA has approached the Delhi High Court alleging that CCTV cameras were being installed by the AAP government only in the areas where leaders of the ruling party were elected.

The petition is listed for hearing before a bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela on August 27. Petitioner Abhay Verma, a BJP MLA from Laxmi Nagar Constituency in East Delhi, said former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, in his budget speech 2020-21, had granted a sanction/clearance for the installation of CCTV cameras, still, the Delhi PWD Minister was given the power of approving the installation of the CCTV cameras.
