His comment came a day after a 50-year-old woman and her two daughters, aged 19 and nine, were found murdered at their house in Delhi’s Brahmapuri area.
In a separate incident, a four-year-old girl was allegedly raped by an 11-year-old boy in Mangolpuri area. Kejriwal said rapes and murders were happening in Delhi but Jung “is busy round the clock creating hurdles in (our) government’s works. He is unable to perform his duty.” “Complete jungle raj in Del. LG/Modi ji failed miserably. What hv they done to control deteriorating law n order? (sic),” Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.
“This is 2 years of Modi raj,” he said, referring to the murder case. In another tweet, he said, “LG sahib/ Modi ji, pl do something. Ye delhi mein kya ho raha hai (what is happening in Delhi).”
AAP has been demanding that the control over Delhi Police which directly reports to the Union Home Ministry, be handed over to the Delhi government. Last month, the Delhi government had released a draft bill on full statehood to Delhi, seeking to bring police, land, municipal corporations and bureaucracy under its control, and invited suggestions from the public.
Kejriwal had slammed Delhi Police following the murder of 19-year-old Meenakshi who was stabbed to death in Central Delhi’s Anand Prabat area in July last year.
“The law and order situation is deteriorating in Delhi every day. Delhi Police comes under the Prime Minister. Either he should do something or Delhi Police should be handed over to the Delhi government,” he had said after meeting Meenakshi’s family members.
He had also said, “If the police is not answerable to the Delhi government then how will it be held accountable? Right now, Delhi Police is a law unto itself.
