New Delhi: After AAP vs Congress and AAP vs BJP, it is now AAP vs Delhi Police.

A day after Delhi Police officials on Wednesday refused to conduct a raid without warrant ordered by Law Minister Somnath Bharti, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday demanded the suspension of officers concerned.

Kejriwal asked the Delhi Police to suspend four officers who had refused to act on Bharti`s instructions, against sex and drug gangs and in a case of burning a woman.

Speaking in a harsh tone, Kejriwal said at a press conference: "We are demanding... we are warning Delhi Police." He added: "Delhi Police is highly compromised."

The CM demanded that the station house officers (SHO) of the Sagarpur and Malviya Nagar police stations and two assistant commissioners of police be suspended.

According to Kejriwal, the Sagarpur SHO failed to arrest members of a family who allegedly set their daughter-in-law on fire.

Malviya Nagar SHO has been accused of complicity with several foreigners in south Delhi, who are allegedly involved in flesh trade and drugs.

"People are not going to be mute spectators to what is going on," he said.

Defending his ministers Somnath Bharti and Rakhi Birla, Kejriwal said the ministers will not stand as mute spectators if they witnessed crime. He further denied that his ministers were interfering in the work of Delhi Police.

"Delhi has security not because of Delhi Police but despite Delhi Police," he said.

The CM`s remarks came amidst reports that the Delhi Police was planning to complain to the Lieutenant Governor against the two Delhi ministers.

It may be noted that since Delhi is not a full-fledged state, Delhi Police reports to the Union Home Ministry and not the city government.
