TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi reported nine murders in three separate incidents since Saturday, prompting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to blame the Centre over the “deteriorating” law and order. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the capital was witnessing a rise in serious crimes and asked whose door should be knocked for the safety and security in such a case.
The AAP also blamed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs, the lieutenant governor and the Union Home Ministry, to which the Delhi Police reports, for the “deteriorating” law and order.”Delhi is witnessing a dangerous spurt in serious crimes. An elderly couple and their domestic help murdered in Vasant Vihar,” Kejriwal tweeted.
“Nine murders reported in last 24 hours across the city. Whose door should be knocked for safety & security of Delhiities?” Responding to his tweet, the police dismissed the claim that crime had risen in Delhi. “No such increase in crime in Delhi. Overall heinous crimes down by 10% this year compared to 2018,” the Delhi Police tweeted. “Similarly heinous crime committed against senior citizens also down by 22% due to preventive efforts of Delhi Police.”
