A battle of words has erupted between the BJP and AAP-led Delhi government over the double murder incident that took place in the RK Puram area of the national capital early Sunday morning. Delhi CM Kejriwal slammed the Centre and LG, who handle the police in Delhi, for the incident and said that the town would have been safest had the law and order has been under his government. Reacting to this, BJP leader Harish Khurana asked how many times Kejriwal held meetings on law and order. 

Khurana asked how many times the Delhi CM met the city commissioner, LG, or the MPs to discuss the law and order situation here. 

Two women were shot dead in the Ambedkar Basti area of Delhi's RK Puram on Sunday by unidentified assailants. The deceased were identified as Pinky (30 years old) and Jyoti (29 years old). The assailants shot them following which they were taken to the Safdarjung Hospital where they succumbed to their injuries.  

According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police South West Delhi, Manoj C, police got a call at 4:40 am in RK Puram police station that some people had shot the caller's sisters at Ambedkar Basti. Police reached the spot only to find the victims were shifted to SJ Hospital where they died, reported news agency ANI. 

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted that his prayers are with the families of both women. He hit out at the Centre which handles law and order in the national capital and said that Delhi would have been safest if the AAP government would be handling it instead of LG. 

दोनों महिलाओं के परिवारों के साथ हमारी संवेदनायें। भगवान उनकी आत्मा को शांति दें।

दिल्ली के लोग अपने आप को बहुत असुरक्षित महसूस करने लगे हैं। जिन लोगों को दिल्ली की क़ानून व्यवस्था सँभालनी है, वो क़ानून व्यवस्था ठीक करने के बजाय पूरी दिल्ली सरकार पर क़ब्ज़ा करने के षड्यंत्र कर… https://t.co/PxT6A2KnkK

"The people of Delhi have started feeling very insecure. The people who have to handle the law and order of Delhi, instead of fixing the law and order, they are conspiring to capture the entire Delhi government. Today, if Delhi's law and order was under the AAP government instead of LG, then Delhi would have been safest," the CM tweeted. 

Slamming Kejriwal for using the incident for his ‘political gains’, Khurana said that AAP has a full-fledge government in Punjab which is remote-controlled by Arvind Kejriwal. He said that the law and order in Punjab is known to all. 

"Women were killed, a tragic incident happened. Our sympathies to the family.  But seeing @ArvindKejriwal Ji's tweet, anyone can say that he is utilising it for his political gains. You are trying to settle scores against @LtGovDelhi," he tweeted.   

महिलाओं की हत्या हुई, दुखद घटना हुई।
परिवार के प्रति हमारी संवेदना।

लेकिन @ArvindKejriwal जी का ट्वीट देख कर कोई भी कह सकता है की वो राजनीतिक रोटिया सेक रहे है।@LtGovDelhi के प्रति आप स्कोर सेटल करने की कोशिश कर रहे है।

केजरीवाल साहब आप कह रहे हो दिल्ली में आपके पास क़ानून… https://t.co/IEfFtpE5Or pic.twitter.com/hV9kcKyK96

The BJP spokesperson further said, "Mr. Kejriwal, you are saying that if you had law and order in Delhi, such incidents would not have happened, then sir, where you are running the government with remote control, what is the condition of the law and order there, entire Punjab and the country is watching." 

Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi also attacked the Delhi Chief Minister saying, "I want to remind the people of Delhi that AAP leaders were the ones behind the Delhi riots, hence we can’t leave the law and order in the hands of such people."

Meanwhile, Delhi police have arrested three people identified as Arjun, Michael and Dev in connection with the murder of two women in Ambedkar Basti area. Further probe is being done, said Manoj C, DCP South West, Delhi.
