Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the city’s law enforcement agencies on September 29, 2024, following a spate of firing incidents that have left several dead and wounded. Addressing the media, Kejriwal stated, “The law and order situation in Delhi has completely collapsed. It’s nothing short of jungle raj.”
His comments come in the wake of multiple shooting incidents that have rocked various parts of the capital, including a particularly shocking attack in North Delhi where three people were killed in broad daylight. Kejriwal has been vocal about his concerns regarding rising crime in the capital, accusing the Delhi Police—under the jurisdiction of the central government—of failing to maintain public safety.
The incidents have sparked widespread outrage among Delhi residents, with many calling for immediate action to curb the violence. Opposition parties have also seized the opportunity to criticize Kejriwal’s government, accusing him of failing to address the root causes of crime in the city.
As the situation continues to escalate, the demand for better policing and accountability grows louder, with many questioning whether the capital’s law enforcement system is equipped to handle the rising crime wave.
