New Delhi:

Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, summoned for questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the liquor policy case, directed a jab at the Centre this evening, pointing to the law-and-order situation in the national capital, where a series of murders have taken place recently. “I request you to please pay some attention to this matter too,” read his letter to the Governor, who had given clearance to the investigation in the liquor case.

“There have been a number incidents of rape and murder over the last few days… Delhi has now become the capital of criminals,” Mr Sisodia wrote, citing three cases. One of them is the death of a 27-year-old, who succumbed to injuries after being beaten up by three men. Protests were held over the killing earlier today.
