Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday wrote to Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena over worsening law and order situation in the national Capital where a series of murders have taken place recently. “It seems Delhi has now become the crime capital. Criminals have no fear of the law. The Constitution has given you the responsibility of upholding law and order in Delhi.
“The Delhi Police reports to you directly. I request you to please pay some attention to this too... it would benefit the people of Delhi,” Sisodia said in the letter.
Citing five murder cases, the Deputy Chief Minister said that there have been a number incidents of rape and murder over the last few days.
One of them is the death of a 27-year-old, who succumbed to injuries on Saturday, days after being beaten up by three men in Ranjit Nagar.
Sisodia also cited Sunder Nagri murder case where a 25-year-old man Manish was brutally stabbed to death. In the third case which Sisodia mentioned in his letter was of Jehangirpuri murder where a boy Shivam (17 yrs) was stabbed to death.
“A week before the Jahangirpuri incident, a tragic incident of gang rape with a girl child in a Kendriya Vidyalaya campus was reported,” it stated.
