Delhi's law and order deteriorated, L-G Saxena ruined police force: AAP
The Hindu
AAP accuses Delhi's Lieutenant Governor of ruining city's police force, citing deteriorating law-and-order situation and high crime rate.
The AAP alleged on May 7 that Delhi’s law-and-order situation has deteriorated in the last few months and accused Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena of “ruining” the city’s police force.
There was no immediate reaction from the L-G’s office.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj referred to some incidents of crime reported in the last few days.
A man was killed in Jaffrabad in the presence of others, he said, adding that the victim was a murder witness and was stabbed multiple times.
“The law-and-order situation has deteriorated in the last few months. The National Crime Records Bureau’s [NCRB] data shows that Delhi has the highest crime rate [in the country]. For a one-lakh population, 1,832 crimes were reported, which is seven times higher than the national average.
“This shows L-G V.K. Saxena’s inefficiency. He has two things to take care of — police and the DDA [Delhi Development Authority]. But under him, the police force has been completely ruined,” Mr. Bharadwaj alleged.
He further alleged that the L-G is “not able to oversee police”.
