**Brutal Murder at Kalkaji Temple Sparks Outrage Over Delhi’s Law and Order**
Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal condemned the “four-engine BJP government” following the brutal murder of a sewadar at the Kalkaji Temple, highlighting a severe breakdown of law and order in the capital. Kejriwal questioned, “Didn’t the hands of these miscreants tremble before they brutally murdered the sewadar inside the Kalkaji Temple? If this isn’t a failure of law and order, then what is it? The four engines of the BJP have brought Delhi to such a state that now such incidents are happening even in temples. Is anyone safe in Delhi or not?”
The tragic incident occurred on Friday night when 35-year-old Yogendra Singh, who had served at the temple for over 15 years, was fatally attacked by a group of men following a dispute over ‘chunni prasad.’ CCTV footage captured the horrifying scene, showing Singh lying unconscious while being assaulted with sticks. He was rushed to AIIMS Trauma Centre but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
Delhi Police reported that one of the suspects, Atul Pandey (30), was apprehended by locals and subsequently arrested. Authorities are actively working to locate the other individuals involved, and a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Atishi, the Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly and AAP MLA, also criticized the BJP-led government, stating that the capital has become the “capital of crime, extortion, and gang wars.” She emphasized that the murder was not an isolated incident but part of a disturbing trend of escalating violent crimes. Citing recent events, including the murder of actor Huma Qureshi’s cousin and a stabbing near the police commissioner’s office, Atishi argued that “law and order are in the control of criminals while the police have been reduced to helplessness.”
She further pointed out, “Even you were recently attacked. If the chief minister herself is not safe, how can ordinary citizens feel secure?” Atishi called for Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s resignation if safety could not be guaranteed for the residents of Delhi.
In light of these alarming developments, the public is left questioning the effectiveness of the current government in ensuring safety and security within the city.
