Went. Delhi Police filed the charge sheet. Singh, who had just landed at the Delhi airport, apparently lost his cool when he was confronted by a reporter from a private TV news channel who asked him some tough questions. When the reporter sought his reaction regarding the sexual misconduct allegations and the Delhi Police charge sheet, the BJP MP became angry and replied, “I have nothing to tell you,” and walked away.

Unsatisfied with his answer, the reporter followed Singh and demanded to know why he should not be expelled from his party, the BJP, which enraged the WFI chief even more. A video of the entire incident shows the journalist trying to get answers from Singh at the airport. He dodged questions and said, “I don’t have any masala for you.” (“I don’t have any spice for you.”)
