New Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, requesting a meeting to discuss concerns related to law and order in Delhi.
Kejriwal expressed his concerns, highlighting that despite Delhi’s law and order being under the control of the central government, the city is increasingly being referred to as the “crime capital” both within India and abroad.
He cited alarming statistics, including Delhi’s ranking as the top city in crimes against women and murder cases among 19 major metro cities in India.
Furthermore, Kejriwal pointed out the rise of extortion gangs, bomb threats to airports and schools, and a significant 350 percent increase in drug-related crimes, all of which have led to growing security concerns among residents.
In his letter to Home Minister Shah, Kejriwal wrote, “Delhi’s law and order is under the Central Government, but Delhi is now being known as the capital of crime.”
