 Following the brutal murder of a 19-year-old girl in central Delhi's Anand Parbat area on Thursday for objecting to stalking by a man, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in an audio message asked PM Modi to look into the law and order situation in Delhi or hand over Delhi Police's charge to the AAP government. In an audio message addressed directly to the PM, Kejriwal talks about the crumbling state of the Delhi Police which poses a threat to the safety of the people of the city. He however is quick to add that it is not the force which is at fault, but the system that is poor. The Delhi Police falls under the Central government and Modi as PM does not have the time to look into its working, he said. "I have a small request. Take out at least an hour each week to look into the law and order situation in Delhi or hand over control of the Delhi Police to us," says Kejriwal. "We will improve the system along with the public," he added. Last week, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar spoke in support of the AAP government's demand for full statehood for Delhi, saying his party would raise the issue in parliament. An appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji!
