Kejriwal: Delhi’s law & order situation in ‘serious turmoil’
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday questioned the law and order situation in the national capital and urged Union home minister Amit shah and lieutenant-governor Anil Baijal to take action citing two crimes in the last 36 hours.
Taking it to Twitter, Mr Kejriwal tweeted, “Deeply concerned by the murder of a 8-yr-old girl in Khichdipur and attack on a 17-yr-old boy in Kalkaji. Delhi’s law and order situation is in a serious turmoil, I appeal to Hon’ble home minister and L-G to take appropriate action to address the situation.”
His tweet came after a 17-year-old boy was beaten up and stabbed for allegedly opposing three boys who were stalking his sister and passing “indecent remarks” on her in Kalkaji area.
According to a senior police official, the incident took place on Friday near a school in Kalkaji area.
AAP MLA from Kalkaji Atishi met the family members of the boy who she said was stable and recovering.
“Met the family of the boy who was stabbed in Kalkaji yesterday. Have assured them of full support. Also spoke to the doctors at the AIIMS Trauma Centre, who said that the boy is stable and recovering,” she tweeted.
The MLA also spoke to the deputy commissioner of police of southeast Delhi and sought swift arrest of the accused.
Earlier, two days ago, a body of a nine-year-old girl, who was kidnapped from Khichripur three days ago, was found in the sugarcane fields of a village in Modinagar, near Ghaziabad, on Friday morning.
The police had said that the autopsy has ruled out sexual assault. Four alleged kidnappers, who live in the same neighbourhood as the girl’s family, have been arrested in connection with the kidnap and murder.
The arrested persons were identified by their first names — Johnny alias Shiva, the key suspect, his cousin Naresh, Kailash and Tarun. “In the kidnapping and murder case of Kalyanpuri, four persons have been arrested and the weapon of the offence has been recovered,” said a senior police official.
