"In the last one to two years, the law and order in Delhi have deteriorated. We have heard that in the decade of the 1990s, the underworld dominated in Mumbai - there used to be open shootouts there... We didn't think that Delhi would face a similar situation. Gangsters have captured Delhi, businessmen are getting ransom calls and firing is common. I have come here (Nangloi) to meet Roshan Lal on whom shots were fired a few days back when he came to open his shop," he was quoted as saying by ANI.
