The incident of violence took place at Burari last night and it has been alleged that the police did not register a case against those involved in allegedly molesting two kids.

The Delhi Government said aggrieved by the police inaction, a large number of local people approached Burari MLA Sanjeev Jha and Model Town legislator Akhilesh Tripathi and both along with the locals had gone to Burari police station to get an FIR registered against the alleged criminals. “It has been alleged that a police official pointed a rifle towards an elected MLA and it has also been alleged that some local people pelted stones on the police personnel,” said a government release.

“It has been decided to institute a magisterial inquiry under the District Magistrate (North Delhi) to inquire about the circumstances and causes that led to this incident and to fix responsibility of government officials, agencies and elected representatives, any of whom may have acted against the law,” it said.

Meanwhile, AAP lawyer Basant Singh said that if police does not resort to the legal procedure in Burari incident, the party may move court. The CM has also directed the Home department to immediately institute a thorough inquiry into the alleged gang-rape of an African national in a moving car in East Delhi.
