Sandeep, who is the son of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit besides being one of the spokespersons of Congress, had earlier also called for the removal of Kumar for his failure to act during the December 16 gang rape case.

“My stand on the removal of police commissioner stays the same. When such an incident takes place you are accountable to the people,” Sandeep, who is the east Delhi MP, said. He also repeated the earlier demand that the Delhi Police be brought under the control of city government.
