NEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said that Delhi is witnessing a dangerous spurt in serious crimes. “An elderly couple and their domestic help were murdered in Vasant Vihar. Nine murders were reported in the last 24 hours across the national capital. Whose door should be knocked for safety and security of Delhiites?” he asked on Twitter while AAP leader Atishi Marlena blamed the BJP for the situation.“The L-G and the Union home ministry are responsible as the entities directly in charge of the Delhi Police . The BJP is directly responsible for this breakdown," Atishi said at a press conference.“Delhi has a reputation for being an unsafe city. The women are afraid of stepping out on the streets after 8 pm. But recent cases have made people insecure even in the confines of their own homes,” she said.She claimed that in the last 30 days, 220 gunshots have been fired in several cases of gang violence. “Criminals have no fear of law or law-enforcement agencies. Gun violence, murders are happening in the open as the law and order of the city goes for a toss," Atishi said.Hitting out at the central government, she said the BJP-led central government should tell people what steps are being taken to improve Delhi's security and policing. “The accountability of the BJP MPs, the L-G and the home ministry needs to be set,” she said.
