Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged on Sunday that there is a “jungle raj” in the national capital, urging Union home minister Amit Shah to take effective action. Kejriwal's statement came in response to three shooting incidents that took place within a 24-hour period in Delhi. While Delhi Congress president Devendra Yadav held AAP and BJP responsible for jungle raj here.

“Law and order has collapsed in Delhi. There is complete jungle raj. People are feeling unsafe in the country's capital. Delhi's law and order comes under Amit Shah ji. He will have to take effective steps immediately,” Kejriwal wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in Hindi.

Three shooting incidents took place in Delhi within hours on Saturday , targeting a second hand luxury car show room, a hotel in Mahipalpur and a sweet shop in Nangloi. No one was injured and police suspect these shooting are linked to extortion attempts by local gangs.

Yadav said that the Capital’s law and order has become so dreadful that people live in fear of their lives and properties, but those in power seems to be least worried about the  “jungle raj” prevailing in the Capital, with former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blaming the Lt. Governor while dummy  CM Atishi only echoes Kejriwal’s blame-games, instead of working in co-ordination with the Lt. Governor and law enforcing agencies  to protect the lives and properties of the people.

Reacting to reports of various crime incidents, AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said that the Delhi lieutenant governor is currently on a foreign trip, while BJP MPs are absent.

Addressing a press conference, Bharadwaj claimed that there is an atmosphere of panic in Delhi, questioning the role and priorities of Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena amidst rising law and order concerns.

 "Delhi has 209 police stations. Why doesn't the LG visit them? Whenever there is work related to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), he goes with the commissioner, and for Public Works Department (PWD) matters, he takes the secretary along," Bharadwaj alleged.

 "For Delhi Jal Board issues, he will take all three involved. He inspects the sites, makes remarks, takes photos, and claims the work was done under his direction, even though it is the Delhi government's responsibility," Bharadwaj added.

 "There is an atmosphere of panic in Delhi today. I can say with full responsibility that such a situation has never existed in my Delhi before," Bharadwaj added, underscoring the growing concerns about public safety in the capital. Referring to a recent shooting inside a showroom in Narayana, Bharadwaj questioned, "When will the LG visit Narayana, where bullets were fired inside a showroom? In Gulabi Bargh, Rs 3.45 crore was looted from a businessman. Will the LG visit that place? And in Mahipalpur, Goldy Brar is demanding Rs 5 crore. When will the LG address that?"

 The AAP minister further demanded that the LG take the police commissioner and the home minister with him to visit these crime scenes. In the past few days, firing incidents targeting a second-hand luxury car showroom, a hotel and a sweet shop, were reported from different corners of the city with police suspecting that these incidents are related to extortion bids by gangs.

The issue of law and order was raised in the Delhi Assembly session on Friday by ruling AAP MLAs who claimed that traders and businessmen in the city received an increased number of extortion calls from different gangs.
