New Delhi : 

Delhi on Thursday witnessed three murders, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) questioning the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the law and order situation in the national capital.

The first incident took place in Central Delhi's Nabi Karim area, where a minor road accident led to a heated argument. A 34-year-old man, Mahendra, was killed by two brothers, Lucky and Sagar, with a screwdriver after his vehicle brushed past their vehicle. Both the accused are currently on the run.

In the second incident at Central Delhi's Punjabi Basti, a 24-year-old man, Ashish Anand, was stabbed to death. The victim's mother alleged that he was murdered as part of a pre-planned conspiracy involving four to five persons. She claimed that the accused were drinking alcohol in front of her son's house. She alleged they had argued in the past as well. The police have arrested two accused and are on the hunt for others.

The third murder took place in North East Delhi's Seelampur, where a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death. The boy, identified as Kunal, was rushed to a hospital, where the doctors declared him dead during treatment. The police said a case has been registered and multiple teams have been deployed to identify and arrest the accused.

"I have spoken to the police commissioner about the murder of Kunal. The police are after the accused, and they will be caught soon. Justice will be served," Chief Minister Rekha Gupta told reporters.

Atishi Questions Law And Order Situation In Delhi

AAP leader and former Delhi chief minister Atishi on Friday questioned the law and order situation in the capital over the Seelampur murder.

"The murder of a 17-year-old youth in Seelampur is another example of the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi. What is the Delhi Police doing?," she posted on X.

AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh also slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for "rising crimes" in Delhi.

"Law and order is not improving under the BJP," Mr Singh, whose party ruled the capital for over 10 years before the BJP came to power in February, said.

    On a good day, such as today, the AQI reading in Delhi is 407. We are jubilant at the sickly sunshine trickling through the slightly dissipated smog. At least its not 1600.

    हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार  जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
