Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre over the death of three of a family in the national capital. AAP leaders charged the law and order situation in the national capital is deteriorating.
Accusing the Centre of turning a blind eye towards crimes in Delhi, Kejriwal said in a post on X, “Three murders in the same house in Neb Sarai This is extremely painful and frightening. Every day, Delhiites wake up to such frightening news. Criminals have been given a free hand, law and order has collapsed. Homes are being destroyed, innocent lives are being lost. And those who are responsible are silently watching all this happen.”
Kejriwal asked whether the BJP would say crime isn’t an issue in Delhi. “Will the central government keep quiet like this and watch the law and order situation in Delhi collapse? Will its party still say that crime is not an issue in Delhi?" he asked.

Rajesh (55), his wife Komal (47), and their daughter Kavita (23) were allegedly stabbed to death at their home in Neb Sarai on Wednesday. According to the police, the bodies were discovered by the couple's son, Arjun, when he returned from his morning walk.
Delhi CM Atishi also lashed out at the Centre and accused the Centre of failing to ensure security in the national capital. "There was a triple murder in Neb Sarai this morning. Murders are happening in broad daylight in Delhi, bullets are being fired, drugs are being sold openly. The central government has only one responsibility in Delhi – to provide security to the people of Delhi. They have completely failed in their responsibility," the chief minister charged.
