Arvind Kejriwal slams Centre over Delhi 'Triple Murder'

Arvind Kejriwal criticizes BJP-led Central Government for failing to ensure law and order in Delhi after triple murder.

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday (December 4, 2024) launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led Central Government after three members of a family were found dead at their home in the National Capital.

Describing the incident as "extremely painful and frightening," the Aam Aadmi Party [AAP] convener accused the Centre of allowing criminals a free hand and failing to ensure law and order in the Capital.

"Three murders in the same house in Neb Sarai… This is extremely painful and frightening. Every day, Delhiites wake up to such frightening news. Criminals have been given a free hand, and law and order have collapsed. Homes are being destroyed, innocent lives are being lost. And those who are responsible are silently watching all this happen," he wrote in a post on X.

"Will the Central Government keep quiet like this and watch the law and order situation in Delhi collapse? Will its party still say that crime is not an issue in Delhi?" he added.

The Delhi Police operates under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi also launched a sharp attack on the ruling party, accusing it of failing to fulfill its responsibility of providing security to the residents.

"There was a triple murder in Neb Sarai this morning. Murders are happening in broad daylight in Delhi, bullets are being fired, and drugs are being sold openly. The Central Government has only one responsibility in Delhi — to provide security to the people of Delhi. They have completely failed in their responsibility," she said.
