Delhi CM meets family of girl stabbed to death

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that law and order situation in New Delhi has deteriorated, NDTV reported.

“In the past few months, the law and order situation in Delhi has deteriorated. Delhi Police comes under PM, he should do something or otherwise the police should be put under Delhi government so that we can change it,” he said.
“If the police is not answerable to Delhi government then how will they be held accountable? Right now, Delhi police is a law unto itself,” Kejriwal said as he visited the home of Grade XI girl in Anand Parbat neighborhood of the capital. The girl was stabbed to death on Thursday, allegedly for registering a molestation complaint.
“This incident is unfortunate and heinous. The boys used to constantly tease her, the girl resisted and she was murdered. We have ordered a magisterial inquiry in to the incident,” the chief minister said. “I have called the police commissioner to discuss this case and law and order situation,” he later tweeted.
Kejriwal also announced Rs. 5 lakh compensation for the family of the girl.
The Delhi government has also sought a detailed report within two days from Delhi Police Commissioner B. S. Bassi in the death of the 19-year-old girl.
In his letter to Bassi, Home Minister Satyender Jain sought to know as to why no FIR was registered by the police, despite repeated complaints lodged by the family of the girl.
