Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a strongly worded letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, raising alarms about the worsening law and order situation in the capital city. In his letter, Kejriwal referred to Delhi as the “rape, drug, and gangster capital” of India, citing the rising incidences of violent crimes, drug abuse, and gang-related activities.
The letter highlights a series of alarming incidents in recent months, including increased cases of sexual assault, drug trafficking, and gang violence, which have contributed to the growing sense of insecurity among Delhi residents. Kejriwal expressed his concerns that the city’s safety is rapidly deteriorating and that the government’s efforts to curb these issues are insufficient.
The Delhi CM urged the central government to step in and take immediate action to restore law and order in the city. He called for stronger measures to tackle organized crime, improve policing, and ensure better coordination between the Delhi Police and central agencies to address these growing challenges.
The letter has sparked political debates, with opposition parties and Delhi residents backing Kejriwal’s call for action. Critics have questioned the role of both the Delhi government and the Centre in tackling these issues, while others have expressed support for more robust policing and security reforms.
With rising concerns over the safety of women, children, and residents, Kejriwal’s letter has intensified the ongoing discourse on improving Delhi's law and order. It remains to be seen how the central government will respond to the allegations and whether any concrete steps will be taken to address the deteriorating security situation in the capital.
