Shakur Basti Suresh Prabhu

Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu today dubbed as "untrue" allegations of an infant's death during a demolition drive in west Delhi and claimed the child died much earlier.

The demolition of hundreds of homes in a slum cluster in west Delhi in which a six-month-old baby allegedly died, touched off a political storm on Monday with Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) targeting the Centre and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacking them both.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will take up the demolition drive in Shakur Basti and death of a baby at the site with Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu as he was not satisfied with the ministry officials' response.
