DU Student Stabbed To Death: Father Breaks Down On Camera, AAP Blames Centre — Top Points
Reacting to the incident, the AAP claimed that crimes have increased in the national capital and accused the BJP-led Centre of boosting the morale of criminals.
New Delhi: Two men were arrested on Monday in connection with the murder of a student at Delhi University's South Campus, which took place on Sunday.
Reacting to the incident, the AAP claimed that crimes have increased in the national capital and accused the BJP-led Centre of boosting the morale of criminals.
Earlier on Sunday, a first-year student of Delhi University was allegedly stabbed to death outside Aryabhatta College in the South Campus after he objected to a fellow student harassing his girlfriend.
AAP's chief spokesperson, Priyanka Kakkar, said at a press conference, "Why is it happening in Delhi again and again? Law and order in Delhi come under a government that boosts the morale of criminals. Criminals who are declared absconders by the police appear on BJP forums after a few months." The AAP leader further said, "They are not scared of the law. We have been asking the L-G about how many PCR vans have increased in Delhi and how many police stations he has visited. But he does not answer."
Notably, the Lt Governor has control over public order, land, and police in the national capital.
Meanwhile, the victim's father broke down on Monday while talking to reporters.

What is going on?...Centre & Delhi Govt together need to remedy the situation immediately."

Can't LG sahib see the father of the young man crying after the murder of his son? Did the LG ever visit the family of the woman who was dragged (by car in Kanjhawala) for 20 km? Delhi Police is busy providing security to VIPs. The required number of police personnel is not deputed to police stations. The problem is not with Delhi Police but the leadership."
