This matter is very dangerous, I am issuing summons to Delhi Police. The whole truth should come out,? DCW chief Swati Maliwal said.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said the accountability of LG VK Saxena should be fixed as the police comes directly under him. Hitting out at the LG, he said ?Jungle Raj? has come in Delhi under Saxena.
?It has been seven months or 210 days since the new LG took over the post. There are 209 police stations in Delhi. How many police stations has the LG sir visited so far?? he asked.
?Is there no accountability of the LG of Delhi? Police comes directly under BJP?s LG, Jungle Raj has come in Delhi under him. Is his job only to write letters to others? His accountability should be fixed,? he said in another tweet.
