Coming as it does in the wake of a series of firings, the shootout has revived the war of words going on in the political circles in the national capital over the issue.
Reacting to the incident, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said in a post on social media platform X, “Last night, a man was shot dead in broad daylight in Mangolpuri. The day before yesterday, three murders took place in the city. All Delhiites must unite and raise their voice against crime. The most important thing is the safety of yourself and your family.”
In another post, the AAP leader said, “People are being murdered openly in Delhi and the BJP is saying that crime is not an issue in the Capital. Bullets are being fired openly on the streets, traders are getting ransom calls, and the BJP is saying that crime is not an issue in Delhi. If you don’t accept the problem then how will you find a solution.”
