Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Monday questioned lieutenant governor VK Saxena over the gruesome murder of a 19-year-old Delhi University student outside college in South Campus.
“Today, the people of Delhi are frightened. 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”, Bharadwaj, who is also the Aam Aadmi Party's national spokesperson, told ANI.
"The required number of police personnel is not deputed to police stations. The problem is not with Delhi Police but the leadership," he added.
The minister was referring to the father of the DU student, who broke down in front of the camera while speaking about his son Nikhil. The father of deceased claimed that the police had not told the family anything about the death of their son.
