North Delhi mayor Preeti Aggarwal was caught on camera instructing her co-workers that 'they can't comment on Bawana fire'.

Hours after North Delhi mayor Preeti Aggarwal visited the Bawana factory fire spot and was caught on camera reminding her fellows that 'we can't comment on the incident since we issued the licence to this firecracker factory'- the video has landed her in soup.

The BJP leader, midway her press address, turned to her workmates, quite oblivious of a camera pointing at her and reminded them that they can't comment on the accident.

Soon after, the video made its way to various social media websites, smartphones and the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Twitter handle.

The Delhi CM was quick to retweet news agency ANI's video, that captured the mayor telling her colleagues not to comment on the issue, lest they land in some trouble.

But the north Delhi mayor has now hit back at the Delhi chief minister for re-tweeting the video. "Is making a fake video viral and confusing public is fair? It's condemnable and I expect Arvind Kejriwal ji to apologise."

The BJP leader's retort was that since the industrial area falls under DSIDC (Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation) and the land was allotted by the Delhi government, the CM should be more focussed on the work and rehabilitation than mudslinging.

Clarifying her moment of inanity, Preeti Aggarwal also said that she was "only making some inquiry about the place from her co-workers."

She explained that her remarks were taken out of context when she meant that no one should "say anything about such an unfortunate incident."
