Delhi Assembly Committee Probes Claims of British-Era Gallows Room Amid Dispute

The Delhi Assembly's Privileges Committee is investigating claims about a British-era 'Phansi Ghar' (gallows room) within the Assembly premises. AAP leaders, including Atishi and Arvind Kejriwal, assert that a secret execution chamber was discovered during renovations, citing found items like ropes and glass marbles. The BJP disputes this, calling it a tiffin room and questioning the evidence. Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta has cautioned against public statements and urged that any proof be formally presented to the committee during the inquiry scheduled for March 6.
