AAP Leader Booked After Using Government Boat for Protest
Some AAP party members used a boat meant for emergencies to protest a delayed bridge.
The boat was owned by a local village and intended for rescue operations during floods.
The village head, who lent the boat, wasn't told of the protest.
The AAP members wanted to highlight how the bridge's delay affects the town.

The boat was owned by Akhodar Gram Panchayat, meant for rescue operations.
Protest was staged at a flooded under-construction bridge.
