Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal again launched an attack against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging the failure of Delhi police in curbing the crime in the capital, asking where is he, when murders and extortions are happening daily. The former CM's remarks came as Delhi witnessed two separate incidents of murder on Saturday.

The AAP leader alleged that at least 11-12 gangs are running blackmail and extortion rackets in Delhi and police have failed to catch even one of them.

"The law and order situation in Delhi has become very scary, people are openly firing and stabbing. This morning, a utensil trader went for a morning walk in Vishwas Nagar, 2 motorcycle riders fired 8 rounds at him on a busy road and he died on the spot. How did the criminals get so much courage that they are openly firing on the streets of Delhi?" he asked.

Highlighting the recent spurt in ransom calls, the AAP leader who is out on bail in a Delhi excise policy scam, said that daily many traders and businessmen are getting ransom calls.

"In the last 1.5 months, several gang wars and shootouts have taken place in Delhi...Traders in Delhi are openly getting ransom calls to give crores of rupees otherwise they would kill their children...There are many such cases and in all these cases, the shooters are caught and the police close the case but the one who is demanding ransom, the real gang, the mastermind, is roaming freely. Everyone knows that there are 11-12 gangs which are operating inside Delhi. They have not been able to catch even 1," he said.

Kejriwal also attacked the Union Home Minister for the precarious condition of women's safety in the capital city.

"Right now, women are unsafe, they are being kidnapped, raped and then murdered...The responsibility of maintaining law and order in Delhi is directly of the Home Minister, that is Amit Shah but he does not care. Where is Amit Shah?" he said.

Earlier today, a 52-year-old businessman was shot dead by two unidentified men on Saturday during his morning walk in Delhi's Shahdara, police said.
